NEW HERE AND HAVING PAIN

[Guest guest]

I have saline implants since 3/9/05. Leftie is okay, Rightie is now giving me excruciating pain from the base where my underwire sits. I cannot sleep because of the pain from my fiance's slight movements. I cannot sit without holding up my right breast. I cannot take a shower without wearing a bra. This has been going on for a week and a half. No exterior symptoms. Midol, Tylenol, Sports Creams do not work. Today I called in sick to work. I have called my implant surgeon...he is in surgery. I am waiting for him to call me back to prescribe a pain killer. He is in LaJolla California at Scripps Memorial. Going to his office for a consult is out of the question. I am considering explant. I live in Olympia Washington and have found a PS specializing in Reconstructive in Bellingham, WA. I am getting married in three weeks, but I want to get the process started to get these out. Suggestions on

pain relief and any advice would be great! __________________________________________________

--- Hi ! I can relate to the sore right breast thing. My

implants are ancient - 20 yrs. old...I just made the connection last

year that my terrible health was from the implants. I have the

double lumen kind - saline outer, and silicone inner. I am having

explantation surgery on July 26!! Wooo Hoooo! I can't wait. I am

just praying that my health can be restored. I've been sick for so

long. I found having baths relieved my pain, also I take Arnica - a

homeopathic medicine (it's for shock and pain).Sometimes I have to

take 600 mg. of Advil which barely touches the pain. I used to take

so many anti-inflammatories that my stomach turned into a pool of

acid! It was actually permeating into my lungs! I have chronic

congestion, especially my right lung. I've had pneumonia 5 times in

the last two years. YUK! I'm glad to hear you are explanting! And

congratulations on your wedding...hope it's everything you want it to

be!

Love 'n Peace & Healing,

Sunny
