Re: Feel like implant has come out of muscle

[Guest guest]

I experienced the same pain in my left breast as well. It has gone away

pretty much but did come back recently because my nerve endings are healing

and I feel things again after my explant on 1/18.

I have to get going but I will write to you again.

Love,

Angelika
