Pain from silicone in lymph nodes

Hello! I have pieces of silicone in my lymph nodes from my first implants for over 30 years. Just in the last year I experienced armpit pain with black circles under eyes and my energy level very low when the pain is present. I had my 3rd pair of silicone implants removed in February, praying it would help with my complications and the pain is still there. No rupture but I’m narrowing it down it’s the silicone in my lymph nodes. I’ve had an MRI, ultrasound done prior to removal and have another ultrasound and mamo next week with no implants. I do feel better since removal but I still have symptoms. Has anyone had these symptoms and will I have to live with this for the rest of my life. It leaves me with no energy, black circles under eyes, and armpit pain. I’m so mad I did this to myself. It’s not worth your health.
