@chefdecemberskye I find your comment about bone pain and allergies interesting. I am a spine patient, but my fusion was done without hardware with only a bone spacer. I have had bone pain from titanium plates on my ankle after an ankle fracture and had chronic hives that developed 6 months after that surgery that made huge patches anywhere on my body. I've had a lot of allergies and food allergies and those changed after I had the titanium plates removed and my body was then metal free. I can now eat foods that previously bothered me. I have been gluten free for over 20 years. I should also add that I had dental work with metals removed and replaced with safer composites, and my old crowns were redone with Ceramic only ones and it all helped. I have less asthma problems with breathing because I have less phlegm in my lungs.

There is a practice in Texas that treats patients for metal and implant material sensitivity in Texas, and I think treating all the allergies a patient has is part of the regiment. This is the link:
