Titanium plates

A year ago I broke my leg and ankle. My doctor put two titanium plates and screws in my ankle. I developed eczema, chronic fatigue and arthritis. I urged my doctor to remove my hardware and I am thrilled that he did. All of my symptoms cleared up and I feel like a new person. I did know someone who developed leukemia after having a titanium hip replacement done, so I would urge anyone who has symptoms to have the titanium removed.
