I had a knee replacement in Oct 2012. Since it was done I have been terribly ill. From shingles, to not being able to eat any thing to feeling sick all the time and the loss of almost 50 pounds in weight. Now I had a blood clot in my lung last week and now having problems with my heart and my breathing.
Got tested for allergies last week, Guess what, I am allergic to Nickel, Tin and Copper. Knee replacement I have has nickel, suspicious?
I have never been this sick in my life, I have now been off work for 12 weeks I have no strength and my mobility is compromised. breathing is bad. I need this thing out of me but now have to convince the surgeon because the wound healed nicely, its just painful to touch it sometimes!

Good luck to anyone in my position, fight to get it taken out, I know I have to!View Thread
