I have a metal allergy. My doctor's always treat me like I'm crazy. I was scheduled for a disc replacement surgery, and even though I told them I have a metal allergy, they told me not to worry. I watched the video and saw the metal brackets and told them I need to be tested first. Now they are mad. I don't get how this is so ignored in medicine.

Hello. I know you posted this several years ago but would like to know your outcome. I too developed hives the day after titanium cervical fusion. I've experienced other symptoms, as well. Had Orthopedic metal allergy test and was allergic to one of the alloys (vanadium) used on titanium. Therefore, my surgeon removed and replaced with stainless steel. I'm still experiencing same symptoms and wonder if stainless contains a metal I'm allergic to. I appreciate any insight you can give me.
thank you.

I had mimi implants for my dentures that cost a lot of money. A few years went by and I started having discomfort in my gums. Eventually I had to have them removed. Come to find out I was allergic to titanium. Now I have a Titanium plate in my knee before I was tested. So much pain.
