Alloderm Problem

lxcarr

Hi Everyone; Yesterday I was filled with tears and frustration that my new life with this chronic unpredictable pain. I get so angry at the doctor (plastic surgeon) that denied anything that went wrong as he placed the extenders with Alloderm into my chest 1 year ago tomorrow. From the minute I awoke I knew right off the bat that something went very wrong on my left Breast. I had infiltrative ductal carcinoma removed and was closed up with these breast extenders knowing there was positive margins which I didn't know until months later. I kept telling my doctor my left side hurts so bad and we continued onward with chemo and 36 rounds of radiation. 9 months later the extenders were removed and the left side was rejecting the extender. They were both removed. The one on left capsulated and yet my plastic surgeon left the Alloderm in even though I was inflamed. My chest on left is so tight I don't have good motion and frozen shoulder. I went to physical therapy and was hurting so badly that I just broke down in tears. The two therapist listened to me and I showed them the left side as I raised my arm. One of the therapists is doctor and asked if she could physically touch the area and agreed that the area in my chest even with physical therapy will not loosen up as this damn Alloderm is sewn into the pec muscle. My plastic surgeon believes non of it and my Nuerologist doctor told me that we will address the Alloderm once complete with diagnosing me. I had a nerve study done with needles and EMG. Conclusion Carpel Tunnel in both hands. So frustrating as my nerves in my chest keep kicking my rear and this Alloderm. Who am I going to convince that this tightness is the alloderm ? The nerve pain I don't know why and neither does the doctor as insurance denied me a MRI (brachial plexus). So I have to wait for pier review and hope for an approval. I cannot find any info on Alloderm being sewn in too tight and inflammation as every doctor will tell you that Alloderm is sterile derived from cadavers. So it couldn't be that. I'm sure after 36 rounds of radiation the Alloderm and flesh is complete toast! Scar tissue that's hard and the plastic surgeon still in denial. All he agreed on is I have Polynueropathy! I know that these doctors have a trust among them and need desperate to seek an opinion from a plastic surgeon outside the circle of the current Health cancer Center. Has anyone in this group had issues where plastic surgeon refuses to do anything? I enclose a pic of Alloderm in place. The reason it is used is to hold the new implant and I'm told I am not a candidate for any reconstruction. So why did this doctor leave this crap in.
