I also have saline implants since 1995 and haven't had any issues. Since I started with PMR and GCA I've often wondered if the implants could be a link to these illnesses.

Hello again, I am back with more information on the link with my implants and PMR.
All you ladies with implants should get a 3-D Mammogram !!
My mammogram was prescheduled before the pain that was thought to be PMR. It showed a possible rupture and a MRI was suggested. The MRI confirmed a rupture I was not aware of.
My Rheumatologist who shared my chart with others at UCLA believes that my implants are causing the symptoms that mimic PMR. (BII=breast implant illness).
I am now joining a study at UCLA and have scheduled surgery to remove them.
Hope this is helpful
