@martydav You are wondering if you have an allergy to the bone cement used in your shoulder surgery. You are wanting to connect with members to find out where and how you can be tested for the possible allergy.

You will notice I moved your question to a previous discussion related to bone cement allergy. I did this to keep this conversation in a central location. Members like @riz @irish283 @jnoronha have discussed this conversation in the past.

Below I have linked a discussion related to burning after joint replacement.
- Burning after total knee replacement https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/burning-after-total-knee-replacement/

Members like @ruthannejoan @glokart1957 @sprinrosa64@artscaping @melboy68 have experience with this discussion and may be able to answer your question.

May I ask if you have considered if the burning could be nerve pain and what your provider has said regarding the burning and a cement allergy?

I will have a revision surgery on Jan 12th. I did ask and really got a non informative answer, like
“maybe”. I have a broken prosthesis in my shoulder only after 8 weeks. Not something I did. First surgeon said , “he may not have got it seated properly”. I’m confused and frustrated.
Have a new surgeon and now the hardware is extremely loose. Lot’s of burning , stabbing pain. Had to wait two months for new surgery.
