Guest guest Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Sandy . . . Why are you having a mammogram done? . .. Regular checkup? . . . Or do you have a mass? If there is something suspicious, by all means you should get a mammogram, or, preferably MRI . . . I'd suggest talking to your doctor. The doctor may be able to help you get those capsules removed. . . The article by Dr. Blais may help explain your request. The fact that you'ver remained ill since your explant should be reason enough. When we say capsules and scar tissue, we mean the same thing . . . The body walls of self from non-self by building tissue around it (in this case breast implants). . . It's often called scar tissue . . . But, as I understand it, it's really not scar tissue, because it has a blood supply - so it's called a capsule.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Sandy . . . You really need to get to the doctor! . . . Get those capsules out . . . If the doctor wants a mammogram, he/she will order one. I know it's very disheartening to have these problems. . . but ignoring them won't make them go away. I would suggest trying grapefruit seed extract . . . Very inexpensive when you consider you use it by the drop, so a little goes a long way. . . Nevertheless, you need medical attention. . . One of the things I'm concerned about is inflammatory breast cancer . . . IBC can be very aggressive and needs prompt treatment. One of it's symptoms is an inflammed area on the breast. It's not likely this is what you have - but you need to get the capsules out as well as get IBC ruled out.

I am getting very worried because my one nipple is hurting and when I looked at it, I saw nothing until.... I looked in the mirror and it's all purple around my nipple so something is going on inside of there don't you think? I am trying to keep calm all through this mess I was explanted already I have to go under a knife again Geeeez....... they should have done it right the first time I am due for my mammogram that's all You think I should wait till the capsules and scar tissue is removed All that junk still left inside me might give them a false reading anyway Not that you are a doctor but maybe you have some idea of why My knees are painful and very swollen where that crawly feeling was It felt like worms crawling in my knees 24/7 when implanted I cannot take this agony much longer, I wonder what happened Do you think it could have been parasites crawling in my knees ? When I was explanted the crawly feeling dissipated immediately but my knees have left me sort of crippled. I have not been able to bend my legs at full range or put on stockings since implantation Thank You, Sandy Sandy . . . Why are you having a mammogram done? . .. Regular checkup? . . .
