I hope to God that this is not the case with the metal that is put in our bodies. I already have immune problems out the yin yang. Read both the articles and was horrified. I asked my surgeon about this and he said titanium is good for life. So did he just not know or is it a case of not telling the patient all the information? I am prone to infection as it is, and I sure don't want any problems down the line with this. It was painful enough to get it put in, much less having to deal with taking it out. It makes you wonder about the consequenses that might occur. I think doctors need to present this information. What I read about it prior to my surgery, said nothing about this at all. I got the name of the device to be used on me, and did look it up.
Information came from the company who makes the device. Hummmm.....not good. ginnie
