Reation to Titanium Implants

Reation to Titanium Implants

Hi,
I have a story that I hope some of you can relate to. I got 2 titanium implants put in my lower jaw 3 years ago. About 5 months after getting these in and started to feel burning in both sides of my cheeks. I also got a cist on both sides of my face where the implants are located. The ENT doctor put me on antibioitcs. After 6 weeks and i still wasn't feeling relief I got a CT scan of my whole head. Everything was completely clear. Since then I've been to numerous doctors, have had blood tests done and everything shows up fine. The burning in my cheeks got worse over the years and now I get headaches as well. It all started 4-5 months after getting these implants in...coincidence, I starting to think not! I haven't done the Melisa test because I can't find a doctor to prescribe it! I have decided to get these implants out and it is scheduled for next week. I have had nothing but trouble since these were put in. My doctor thinks it's impossible. but is willing to take them out since I've done everything else and it hasn't worked. My gut tells me I have a sensitivity to titanium or possibly a mild allergy, but it has gotten progressively worse over these 3 years and is all localized in my cheeks and forehead. I do have inflammation as well. Anyone have a similar experience? I can't wait to get these out. I truely believe it is the cause since everything else has been ruled out and I never expereinced any of this before the implants. Let me know your thoughts! Thanks.
