Earring allergy and hip replacement?

Posted by marieinid @marieinid, 13 hours ago

Hello, I am a 52YO female who just learned I have moderate/severe OA from congenital dysplasia/impingement and need a hip replacement. So overcoming shock, anxiety and likely worrying about every little thing right now. I have had an allergy to earrings where wearing them, no matter the metal, they bleed (unless I dip the posts in neosporin). I'm concerned about this with hip replacement. I do have a titanium implant in my jaw from a broken jaw almost 30 years ago.

Anyone have experience with this?
