Has surgical hardware made you sick?

Sometimes you have to be your own advocate and go with your own gut feeling. I had a doc from Mayo tell me to get a pain stimulator. Even though I had three docs tell me they won’t work with my kind of pain. I’m glad I didn’t listen and got another opinion. I have a lot of hardware in me. And you are right. I’m wondering if I am also rejecting the hardware too. The yellow arrow is the screw they want to remove and the one next to it.

Update:
I had surgery on hardware removal. I currently have after surgery pain. It’s too new to tell if there is a difference in pain from the hardware removal. The doc talked about removing two screws over the bone. He got one out but the other was embedded in my bone which was suppose to happen. He removed the screw head on that one. He also found an unattached rod from my L4 disc fusion that I had done last year around this time.
