Failed Knee Replacement and 2 failed revisions

Hi. My PA suggested the test after my 7 surgery 4 in my left and 3 on my right. They dont offer the test cause it cost 600 out of pocket. Turn out to be im allergic to Nickel and vanadium. That means that i need a third revision on my knee😡. So I decided to live with the pain and swollen knees

@rodillas My doctors told me that the metals test wasn't covered by insurance and I submitted it anyway and they covered a big chunk. If I were you I would be very careful ignoring the nickel allergy. I'd be afraid that your body will all out reject your knee replacement and you'll end up needing an emergency replacement.
