titanium plate temperature feeling
I had ACDF with a titanium plate at C5-C6 and I swear that when it is really cold outside that I can feel the coldness of the actual titanium plate. Is this actually possible and does anyone else experience this? It is not painful, just noticible.
Ever since my fusion surgery with instrumentation on feb 22nd, I have had hot/cold flashes that I hadn't gotten before. My dr has heard of patients explaining to him the same thing. They think its due to the hardware. That's my "cold" story.
I have screws and rods in my back from a PLIF at L4-5 and a plate like you at C6-7 and the cold has the same effect on me. Its pretty common.
I have metal in differant places i feel the cold in all those places it is not uncommon
