I've had mild pain and discomfort around my implant since it was installed in June '05. After battles with my PS ("you've had major trama, what do you expect?") I finally received a referral to a physical therapist who deals with lyhphedema. Turns out my discomfort was from swelling and muscle tightness from the pain. I've been doing the manual drainage bit and weekly appointments with her. In addition the practice has a pilates trainer so I have been given exercises to free up tightness and build up strength. It has only been three weeks, but I feel better and expect to feel much better. I too had begun exploring having the implant taken out. But have been glad to have found relief.

Maybe my experience will help you, I hope so, it is a fairly easy and non-invasive method.

BTW, that PS is history for me.
