Breast Implants and Autoimmune Arthritis (specifically Ankylosing Spondylitis)
Finally brave enough to post. I had implants+lift two years ago and had onset of ankylosing spondylitis within WEEKS after the surgery. I then suffered a further 12 months before diagnosis and treatment. I went from healthy, to unable to work overnight and it was all immediately following breast surgery. For a long time I considered the stress of surgery to be the trigger but now I am considering it is the silicone implants. Please comment if you have any inflammatory/autoimmune arthritis ❤️
