This is worth a read! and discussing with your GP maybe?
"Woman's metal allergy causes severe symptoms after knee replacement":-
"Diane chose to have the operation on both knees at the same time. But months later, instead of getting better, her knees still ached. And now the pain was spreading throughout her body to her shoulders, arms and legs. She got weaker and weaker. Four months after knee replacement, she could no longer get dressed without assistance, pick up a half-gallon of milk or turn over in bed. She says she became a different person -- terribly weak, in constant pain and very unhappy."
