How did you discover this? I had my replacements in 2022. Because I am allergic to nickel my surgeon used titanium ( he did not test me me for this in advance). I have had burning and pain every day since at the bottom where the implant connects to my leg. My surgeon says that doing MRI or CT won't show anything because the waves will bounce of the metal. X-rays shoes that my implants are " in the right place".

I had the same problem. Nickel allergy. Pain and swelling. Revision surgery was done to remove nickel but did nit fix
Ray mri did not show the problem. So surgeon ignored my symptoms. After more than three years years I am in constant pain and no one has solution
