Hello,
True allergy to titanium is rare.When titanium is combined with other metals like nickel,then allergy can take place as nickel is a common sensitizer. Diagnosis is done by skin patch test or blood tests for allergy. MELISA (Memory Lymphocyte Immunostimulation Assay) test is a blood test that is confirmatory for metal allergy.
I feel that you should consult your doctor and talk about this allergy and the option of changing the metal springs as avoidance is the only treatment for metal allergies. Desensitization techniques, such as allergy shots,also are not effective for metal allergies.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Kind regards.
Did you get preganant since the spring implant? Sometimes your immune system changes after a pregnancy. I develped celiac disease after baby #1. Also develped a reaction to swimming in fresh water ponds and lakes. Never had that before the pregnancy. I hope you find out what is bothering you.
Did you ask your Dr. if nickle is in the springs? That is a common allergen.
