Titanium plate in neck and have severe metal allergy

@ccchang I had hives that came up anywhere on my body, not a few, but large patches that covered the front of a thigh or forearm. Pretty much anywhere my clothing rubbed, it would start a patch of hives. I had pain where the hardware plates were on my ankle and my skin was developing some pigment over them. I felt like someone was kicking me all the time. Getting the hardware removed cleared up all these issues. These symptoms began 6 months after the injury and installation of the titanium plates and screws. I had to stay on antihistamines all the time.

@jenniferhunter I see. Ok, thank you. I've had my titanium cage and screws in for almost a year now, so I must not be allergic.

@jenniferhunter I had two plates put in my neck and actually had one of them fall out, floated around for a while. You think they figured it out then that there was an allergy going on instead they kept wanting to do neck surgeries. I finally proved to him through other test that this was an issue. The only one to 4% of the people with implants.
