Good Morning, I had reconstruction surgery 3 years ago after a double mastectomy with Silicone implants. Last year I started feeling some discomfort behind the left implant they seen nothing on the MRI but here I am 10 months later and it still bothers me, Anybody else have issues? Thank You

worried for you. If this pain is persistence what does your Plastic Surgeon think
may be causing the pain? MRI showed nothing, but pain is still there. Please
go back to PS and have him/her explain what could be the underlining issue or issues.

Please let us know what the outcome.

Strength, Courage and HOPE for a Cure.

I have an appointment for my 6 month check up Oct.12th with my oncologist. Thought I would see what she had to say, Not crazy about the plastic surgeon I used, not sure if another PS would even want to see me since they didn't put them in, you know how that goes. Thanks for replying and your concern

If your health insurance allows ... Please find a 'NEW' Plastic Surgeon, and get his/her
take on what's causing your discomfort.

Please go into your old PS office and request copies of your medical records -- take
your records with you to your visit with new PS (Plastic Surgeon).

Good luck.
