saline implants and costochondritis..

[Guest guest]

Hello everybody-

I just found out that I have costochondritis. My implants have been

in since 1997 and I've had nothing but problems. I'm scared that my

health will only get worse. I saw the doctor today and told him that

I wanted an explantation. He told me not to get my implants taken

out...they weren't causing this condtion or problem. This is the

second doctor within the last 2 years that has told me not to get

them taken out. I feel like I'm going crazy. Does anyone have any

suggestions. Please help if you can.

Actually, costochondritis is a fairly common symptom of implants, and

implants directly cause the inflammation in the cartilage around the

ribs. Removing them will allow it to heal, and it should be gone within

6-12 months.

Alice, All you have to do is listen to the women on this site to know that it is not a coincidence that we all have similar symptoms and the docs either don't or won't admit that implants are at the root of our problems. I am constantly amazed that people as smart as one would have to be to get through medical school could be so ignorant. They are all like little robots trained to match drugs with symptoms instead of trying to heal people. I sometimes wonder if any of them know how to add two and two. They just don't think! Sorry, I had to vent. Anita saline implants and costochondritis.. Hello everybody-I just found out that I have costochondritis. My implants have been in since 1997 and I've had nothing but problems.
