Hey brookejackson29
Hit the wrong key!
There seems to be some controversy with this implant.
I understand that in England it was pulled off the market
and the mfr was working on a better one.
There are forums for this and you can do a search .
A friend had a terrible time with hers, went to some forum and realized this problem is more widespread than what she was told originally, following the onset of her many symptoms!
She felt like "guinea pig". Evidently she had it removed before totally messing up her life!
Please do your own research on this.
Hope you find the answers you're looking for.
Blessings
