Re: Can implants cause enlarged lymph nodes ?
I know that when I had my biopsy of my breast, the area bruised really badly and when they did a MRI a week after, my lymph node was enlarged from the trauma of the biopsy. Pray that your lymph node is just swollen from all the surgery you had. Keep us posted.
