Continued pains after explantation

[Guest guest]

Hello to all,

I have been quite busy at work and only get on line about once a

week if I'm blessed with a few minutes.

I had my implants removed on 6/6/02 and I do feel a lot better than

I have for the last 21 years!

I do however continue to have sharp shooting pains in my breasts,

with very painful lumps small to large since surgery. These lumps

have traveled under my arms where the sides of my bra's go all the

way to just about my back.

I was shocked, hurt and horrified when I found out that my surgeon

DID NOT REMOVE THE CAPSULES! I don't know if this is the source of

my pain and lumps and bumps as maybe new capsules are now forming

and creating a new found hell within me... or if this is a normal

part of the healing process???

I had a couple of neuro flair ups shortly after my explant surgery,

and a few times my tounge has gone numb like it fell asleep for a

brief while maybe 3 to 5 minutes... then it went back to normal. I

have had some visual symptoms blurred vision and double vision a

couple of times but not like I use to get!

Also a few days of migraines again not like I use to get. I get

dizzy at times, last night when I went to bed I felt like the room

was spinning only to wake up this morning to feel normal again...

whatever normal is.

I go in for a mamogram on the 30th the hospital where I work gives

free mamo's once a year for the women who work there. It will be

interesting to see how it goes.

I got my implants back from Dr. Blais of course to see the black

crap growing inside of them I am really glad to know that they are

out of my body and nothing was replaced! I may have been miss

informed the first time... a second time would have been an ignorant

choice on my part.

I will be sending photo's of my enstien breasts along with

photo's of the blackened implants, and the tissues in a jar that

clearly shows there are no capsules.

Ladies beware of what you believe your surgeons are saying... mine

told me that he would remove the implants and the capsules... and he

lied to me. My surgical report says that the capsules were thick

and that he removed the anterior portion of the capsules... yet the

path reports all say that there is NO CAPSULES...

Now I am faced with yet another surgery to remove the capsules that

he cut up and left inside of me!... I am not a happy camper about

this... I choose not to remain angry but to place my anger to good

use and hold this surgeon accountable for his actions to my

insurance company he should answer, as well as to an attorney so

that he can repay me for the damages and lost wages and surgery that

I will need to remove these capsules.

One day at a time, on breath at a time and one bra at a time...

bra's hurt to wear...

Does anyone have a brand of bra that does not hurt your breasts

after surgery? If so please clue me in. As well if any of you are

or had painful lumps and bumps after surgery what did you do to get

rid of them? More surgery? What?

Thanks,

Deb
