Titanium screws causing inflammation. Reaction?

Post by TeresaL »

I was dx w MS 26 yrs ago, spinal fusion 7 yrs ago...4 screws, 2 portacaths, jug stents. Going for test for this problem.
Seems like I have gone downhill faster after fusion surgery/CCSVI/portacath Has anyone else notice yhusttwet after metal implants?

I hope not. I am to get probably titanium screws in my collar-bone. If I was going to worry, it would be about the dead-people bone grafts, and hospital-borne infection. The upside might be that treatment for c.diff these days is a fecal transplant.

Lots of friends have had hip and knee replacements. I would say, if you are healthy they will be very good for you.
