RE: I Have Rotting Metal in My Body

in #life8 years ago

I feel for you because I was in the same situation several years ago.

I've had 4 inches log piece of metal and several screws in me for 3 years before they removed it.

But my surgeon has said ​while fixing my broken bone, that he'll take the hardware away in due time. That he did and I was glad I've got rid of it.

I hope it all turns out just great with your hip.

Thanks for sharing your story. I hope I can get mine out too! Was it an easy recovery? And is it true that your muscles grow after you remove the metal?

You are welcome. I hope that too.

The recovery was far easier than the recovery after the installation :) Which is obvious, of course.
