My sister has been watching documentaries on a possible connection to Fibromyalgia and breast implants and is sure that's my problem . I disagree because my Aunt and a cousin have fibro also but have no implants

Members weighed in on whether breast implants could be connected to fibromyalgia, with the overwhelming consensus being that most did not have implants, and many had developed fibro long before any surgery or augmentation. Several members shared that while surgical trauma or stress on the body can trigger a fibro flare, they have not personally seen evidence that implants cause the condition, and some noted that doctors have told them implants are not a current concern. A recurring theme was the complex nature of fibromyalgia's origins, with members pointing to stress, heredity, and other life events as possible triggers rather than implants alone.

Docs are now saying that implants can be one cause of FIBROMYALGIA . Stress can cause it plus I think it can also be inherited-my mom had it after menopause. Back then my dad and brothers thought she was crazy. My husband tried to put me into a mental institution because I told him the pain moved around. His parents told him that I was just being lazy. So he divorced me after 30 years of marriage.

Thank you for your comments
I’m afraid that if I remove my implants that I will be very unhappy with the results but then I go back and forth

I had implants done 20 years ago and has suffered from fibro since age of 12....(I am now 54) so I don't think its got something to do with implants.
