I too have breast implants that were put in 1999. They are saline and I have never had any problems with them. I was diagnosed with PMR in January 2022. I am now tapering the prednisone and I am down to 4mg per day. My GP doctor says I should just leave the implants as is since they don't cause any problems. I don't agree and I am going to ask the rheumatologist about this next time I see him.
