A 45 y/o healthy F c/o of low back pain with leg symptoms. PMH is unremarkable. Aside from biomechanical factors after assessment, I believe her past surgical history of buttock augmentation with silicone injection 10 years ago is one of the causative factors for causing her low back pain with peripheralization. I am currently avoiding dry needling on her buttock area but also safely paying attention to her leg symptoms during palpation to ensure silicone did not dislodge. MRI of the buttock showed silicone is up to the fat layer of the skin.
Your thoughts on this case Dr. Frank would be greatly appreciated.
Hey Eugene,
Well this is an interesting case. I would not needle anywhere near the implants and in fact would recommend she get it removed considering all the cases that are describing leaking toxins and causing all kinds of additional physiologic issues. Had a case of "generalized sickness" that improved with removal of the silicone breast implants. The times we live in 🙂
