@sickofbeinsick1 Don't give up. You may want to consult a practitioner in environmental medicine. There are treatments for problems with reactions to surgical implants. You can find information at this link to a practice in Texas. This is their page about implant services. https://www.ehcd.com/implant-services

Other doctors in this field can be found in the provider search at https://www.aaemonline.org/

Remember that you have to be your own advocate for your health, and if you are not finding help with your current providers, getting another opinion with a specialist can help. This is a complicated problem when you have a necessary joint replacement and it affects your health. I don't have experience with this type of treatment, but because I was a patient in need of spine surgery and concerned about metal reactions, my environmental medicine doctor told me about this.

Have you talked to a counselor to help your mental state and to help navigate what choices you may have regarding your health?
