I have a woman (50ish)who fractured her tib / fib, middle of last year.
It was fixated with pins and plate. She has been complaining of
increasing generalised ache throughout her body; feelings of nausea and
tearfulness. Have any of you seen these symptoms possibly as a reaction
to the metal implants. If this is possible do you think that this will
resolve if she has these removed?
Many years ago, i saw a woman with a similar injury who had a severe
respiratory reaction to the implants with onset of asthma- like
symptoms, which she never previously had and once the metal was
removed, the symptoms resolved totally. Any comments appreciated.
