After a double mastectomy, tissue expanders then silicon implants I want them out.  It has been 3 months since implants.  I always feel very rigid, uncomfortable and painful, specially under arms.  I can feel the implants moving around.  I also can feel very hard tissue on the sides (under my arms).  I want them removed.  I don't care if I have nothing.  Has anyone had any experience with this or know of anyone who has.  Can this be done?  I want to tell my doc to take them out!!!  but I want to know what I'm talking about before I see him as he does not have a very good bedside manner.    Thank you in advance. Stella
