Titanium plate in neck and have severe metal allergy

Hi, @tia2 - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. That sounds challenging to have a titanium plate in your neck and be allergic to it.
I thought the topic of metal allergy and spinal surgery merited its own discussion, so I moved your post to start here:
- Titanium plate in neck and have severe metal allergy https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/titanium-plate-in-neck-and-have-severe-metal-allergy/?
What does your spine doctor suggest you do about this? Will you be having the plate removed?

@lisalucier the spine doctor has said I would not survive a fifth neck surgery. I’m stuck with the plate in my neck. One is already fallen out. that’s when it should’ve been figured out I thought when I went to the Mayo Clinic, they might come up with an idea, but as I already told you that ended up to be a joke.

@lisalucier I am not a real fan of the Mayo Clinic at this time, but we’ll see how this works. One of your allergists when he found out that I did have a titanium allergy and found out he was wrong and never even one as far as contacting me after the blind pill test, just put me on medicine and forgot about me your heart doctor. They wanted to replace my heart when he found out all the stuff he was hooking me up to was making things worse, plus the drug he had me on never got back to me either even though he had me on drugs. I just thought maybe there’s somebody out there dealing with this thank you.
