Hi Patty,

I was searching for saline implant stories on the internet & I came across your story. I'm sorry to hear of all the trouble you have had to go through.

I was wondering if you have ever heard of anyone connecting pelvic pain with implants. I had saline implants placed in 1999 and had no trouble or side effects at all. Then about 1 1/2 years ago in Sept 2004, I started having pain on the right side of my pelvis that went through my back. I had every test known to man & saw every "ologist" you can think of and no one could figure it out. After a laporoscopy, my gyn said he thought it was endometriosis (although he said it was very mild and didn't seem to fully explain the pain I was having). He put me on medicine that effectively puts me in menopause and the hot flashes and other symptoms have been horrible. The pain has been better at times, but keeps flaring up and for the last several months has been severe again. Today I looked in the mirror & saw that one of my implants has ruptured. My entire abdomen feels weird, and my pelvic pain seems more intense than usual. I am not sure if this is just in my head because I am freaked out about the implant leaking or if maybe all this pain has been a reaction to the implant the whole time. I thought I would see if you have heard any similar stories.

Thanks,

Eileen

I emailed Eileen. It sounds like she has IC. I went through the same

thing for many years before getting the right diagnosis.
