Guest guest Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Dear Dr Tan, Hi My name is Shanelle. First i would like to thank you for the time you put in to help women who have suffered from implants and who have been ignored by the medical profession and pushed aside. You have upheld your oath " First do no harm " and you are a credit to your profession, thank you!! My story is not unlike the many women on this site, so i wont get to detailed, other then tell you that I had my implants in for 23 yrs, was explanted 1 year ago, I have allot of neurological problems and joint and muscle pain, inperticular I have a hard lump between my left shoulder blade which causes me pain and I feel is the root of allot of my problems as it feels as if it is putting pressure on my spine,I've seen Dr.'s which say it's muscle, my chiropractor say its not muscle or a bone and should have it checked out, Ive tried accupuntcher, pilates and massages to tri and work this thing loose, nothing seems to work. The lump is on the same side of the implant that was torn, is it possible that silicone could of migrated there and formed a capsule around it? Anyway, the real quetion I have is....can I order a MRI or CAT scan without a Dr.'s order, or do I need one...cause quite frankly I am fed up with them and can't bare to be told its all in my head, or i am seeking for attention again. Warmest regards, Thank you for your time, looking forward to your response. Shanelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
