As I mentioned on a previous post, my implant shattered. Most of the pieces were removed; however a couple are too close to critical nerves for my surgeon to risk taking them out, also, my humerus had to be cut 7.5 inches and pryed open to remove the stem from my prior revision. Any time bones are broken, there's a risk of toxins being released. I won't know the full extent of my metalosis until my blood and stool tests come back.
