Christina Applegate has raised new concerns about her health, revealing that her breast implants could potentially be connected to the mysterious symptoms she has been experiencing for years.
The 54-year-old actress is still searching for answers after discovering that her previous diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) was incorrect. As she continues undergoing medical examinations, she is now questioning whether her breast implants could be contributing to her ongoing health problems.
During a recent episode of her MeSsy podcast, Christina discussed her concerns with co-host Jamie-Lynn Sigler. She explained that she had previously wondered whether her implants were leaking and potentially affecting her health.
“I swear, over the last five years or whatever, I thought, ‘What if they’re leaking and they’re like poisoning me?'” the actress shared.
Her concerns resurfaced after someone brought a study to her attention discussing breast implant-related symptoms that can resemble those associated with multiple sclerosis. The information prompted her to reconsider whether her implants could have something to do with the unexplained health issues she has been facing.
Christina also revealed that she believes it may be time to have her implants checked and possibly replaced. However, she has not confirmed that they are leaking or causing her symptoms and plans to discuss the possibility with her medical team.
The actress has a significant medical history involving breast cancer. In 2008, she was diagnosed with the disease and underwent a double mastectomy as part of her treatment. Following the procedure, she received breast implants.
Her latest concerns come after an unexpected development in her medical journey. Christina was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2021 and spent years dealing with the challenges associated with the condition. However, she recently learned that the diagnosis was incorrect, leaving her searching for another explanation for her physical struggles.
During the podcast conversation, the actress also opened up about the severe pain and mobility problems that have been affecting her daily life.
She particularly expressed concern about her right shoulder, explaining that she can barely move it or lift her arm.
“I don’t know what’s going on in my joints, but I can’t move my right shoulder like at all now. I can’t lift my arm,” Christina said.
The discomfort has become so overwhelming that even getting out of bed can be difficult for her. She admitted that dealing with several unexplained symptoms at once has made the situation particularly frustrating.
“It’s overwhelming because there’s so many different things that could be going on, and this pain stuff,” she explained.
With her previous diagnosis now in question, Christina’s doctors are investigating other possible medical conditions that could explain her symptoms.
Among the conditions being considered are rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and Lyme disease. These illnesses can cause various symptoms, including joint pain, fatigue and mobility difficulties, making further testing important in determining what is affecting her health.
The actress explained that her medical team is essentially returning to the beginning of the diagnostic process and examining conditions that can produce symptoms similar to multiple sclerosis.
“We’re going into square one, just doing some testing and going one-by-one of the sister diseases to MS,” she added.
For Christina, the search for answers remains an ongoing challenge as she navigates uncertainty surrounding her health. Although she suspects her breast implants could be one possible factor, their role in her symptoms has not been established.
The actress is now preparing for further medical discussions and tests in the hope of finally understanding what is behind her persistent pain and other health complications.
