It must be terrible having these questions and doubts and not really getting any answers from your doctors. I am wondering if you had chemo and/or if you are on hormone therapy at all. Many of your symptoms are fairly common after treatment or while on hormone therapy, even for women who have not had silicone implant reconstruction. I have certainly experienced tiredness, burning pain, fatigue, confusion and headaches as well as a few other things too! Most of these things are slowly improving (I had treatment finishing in Nov 2013) but I think tamoxifen and some haywire hormones are contributing to the issues for me.
