Hi Chris - just wanted to thank you for your encouragement and feedback re the implants. I've done 4 laser sessions with my physio, and I'm now confident I'll avoid surgery. I've got a stretch and exercise regime which I do every day, and am now doing 'walking breaststroke' in the pool which really helps my pec muscles. She found a lot of muscle spasms which she's been working on with the laser, and I'm stretching them out with her exercises. The pain has pretty well gone away. We think/hope that the final swelling will go down once the muscles are healed and stop squeezing the implant. The left side, which was augmented, settled down after the first treatment. I'm sobered by the thought that the PS wanted to replace the implants, when it appears the problem was at least partially muscular all along. Doesn't really bear thinking about, does it!
You have no idea how much your message encouraged me to keep going with all this.
Thanks and love, Pam xx
