Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 My latest symtom is stiffness in my face. I feel swollen. I feel like with every day things get more difficult. Every joint seems to crack and pop. Sometimes I wake up feeling less symtoms, but as the day goes on my stiffness and aches get more intense. Anyone else had this and does it go away after explant? Thanks for the e-mails and support!!! Quote
Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 Hi - I had my explant in November. For me, the symptom that seems to be taking longer to go away is the swollen joints. I had this strange sensation under my fingernails and toenails when I had the implants, a numb pain, but that has gone away. Also I don't have the heartburn I had when I had implants. I think it's an individual thing regarding how long it takes certain symptoms to go away. I'm happy to have the implants out, because I feel I at least was able to nip it in the bud before I got worse. I didn't experience any stiffness in my face, but I had terrible headaches every day, and my blood pressure went from low to quite high almost overnight. Blood pressure is back to normal now. Right before I had my explant, I started getting achy teeth, too, but that's gone away. Sis > > My latest symtom is stiffness in my face. I feel swollen.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 Dear MK, I can't begin to tell you all the strange sensations our women have had! . . . Some of them are made worse by anxiety over the entire situation. . . We can't guarantee you that all your symptoms will disappear 100%, but, chances are very good that you will see your symptoms begin to disappear after your implants are out. If you can find a way to accept these symptoms as something you will get through, and not let them scare you, they will be easier to get past. Life is going to be good again! You'll be down on the floor playing with your kids soon! Hugs and prayers, Rogene Quote
