A patient describes years of fatigue and brain fog after getting breast implants, then worsening nerve pain in her neck and back. She tried ice and cold plunges with no relief, but felt better after explant surgery. Many of her symptoms only made sense once she talked to her doctor about them.
My brain. I was like, oh, this is postpartum. My hormones are tanked. I'm fatigued. I have brain fog. But then I started getting a lot of nerve problems up my neck and my back and everything I could do, like, it would not go away. I was getting in the ice. I was doing cold plunge. I was doing all of the things, and I just felt like nothing was improving. And I had already talked to you around this time, and I knew that we were doing surgery, but it was, you know, eight months out, and. And so it was just getting to the point of having my explant. And I knew that I would feel better, which I have. But I also think a lot of the BII symptoms I didn't even realize I had until I came to you and I had a conversation with you. Yeah, I think it's challenging. So we should inventory them.
