on 3/2/22 I had my femur fractured during surgery and a surgical "zip tie" was used. I'm suffering many odd symptoms and am waiting on a metal allergy test (MELISA) from Germany to try to figure out how to fix my problems. Have had CT scans, MRIs but nothing shows the problem. I have a very unusual taste/odor in me since then in addition to severe fatigue, blurred vision and fogginess in my head. The hip/thigh is still very sore (stabbing pain and burning inside). I've tried to find if anyone else ever experienced this to no avail.

I hope you get relief from somewhere or something. This is terrible. I have often wondered about an allergy to metal. I have rods, plates, pins and stainless steel cable ties in my leg where there was a double break on my femur. I am getting infrared treatments now. 5 years, still pain.
