There has been some recent concern by patients that breast implants can be related to a chronic illness. Many women have developed support groups to inform each other about the range of symptoms and possible treatment options. This phenomenon is in its infancy and has little scientific evidence to confirm the association. Nonetheless, there are a few women who believe their autoimmune diagnoses and chronic pain are related to breast implants. Some common symptoms include fatigue, headache, rib\/ armpit tightness and pain, night sweats, abdominal pains, and GI upset, and arthritis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
