@steveinarizona Did you undergo metals and resins testing? I did through an allergist, not allergic to the nickel but highly allergic to the bone cement. Nightmare!

No, I was not tested for any allergies nor did I need it. I have a titanium hip from three years ago (same surgeon). My new knee is made of oxidized zirconium which is supposed to be biocompatible but I think my surgeon just likes that knee complex.

I have a possible similar situation. I have shelled out the 600$ to have the allergy test, Panel 2 done.
What are you going to do?
I am taking Cartigenix-HP right now and praying for a reprieve from needed surgery.
I have been to 5 surgeons, looking for someone to do a safe surgery for me.
