15yr No prb - R Brst Capsulated Diagnosed w/ RA, Symptons escalating over 6 m

[Guest guest]

I'm searching to see if anyone can relate.

I have had my saline implants for 15 years w/ no problems! Then I

had my second child Oct'06. By April of '07 my R brest slowly (over

a few wks)fully capsulated (some shooting pains during this time but

none now). Then several months latter, I wake up and my L index

finger is a little swollen. Before capsulation and swollen finger I

had terrible stiff neck and neck pain for months, which the

Rhuematolgist has diagnosed, as RA realted. In the last 3 months,

Aug/Sept/Oct the swelling, stiffness, some pain, has spread to most

fingers on both hands, wrists, and toes. At one point my ankes were

poping/clicking alot, that has subsided. Just the other day, I

noticed that my chest feelt heavy at night.

My (what I like to call) " Second Mom " has been a Plastic Surgery

Consultant for over 20 yrs and said she has seen about 20 cases w/

my situation and they had the implants replaced. She said that

after 6 months their symptoms regressed/ felt better.

Has anyone had a similar situation as mine?

Did anyone experiencing health problems have the implants replaced

and feel better?

If so, did your symptoms go away?

How long did it take w/ the new implants in, for your sypmtoms to

regress/go away? Thank You in advance for your insight!
