- ArthritisWhen measurable outcomes were investigated (i.e., ANA for inflammatory disease), there has been no consistent improvement in ANA or symptoms after implant removal, and studies have shown that rheumatoid arthritis continues to progress (i.e., worsen) despite implant removal. Some studies have demonstrated improvement in rheumatologic symptoms for a short period of time (6-12 months), but those symptoms recurred 1 year after implant removal. We share this so that you can make a truly informed decision prior to removing your implants.
