Can I Go For Massage Therapy After Having Titanium Plate Removed?
I am inquiring about what happens after having a titanium plate removed from my forearm. It is causing pain and inflammation especially with the type of work I do which is massage therapy. Do I need to be concerned about muscle being injured or cut and what about the wholes from the screws, do they fill in at all? I have had the plate in for about 8 years now. What would be the probability of continuing my type of work post surgery and any complications?
