Shoulder Sore, Tender, Physical Therapy Done After Rotatory Cuff Surgery. Inflammation Due To Implant?
I had rotatory cuff surgery. Dr.put an implant in my shoulder. That was in Nov.2011. After months of physical therapy, my shoulder was still sore and sometimes very tender. Within 4 months or so I began to get sick . I eventually ended up in the hospital with a CPKI count of 18,000. My family, fiends, and I noticed that my problems began after my surgery and the implant. Before this I've never been sick with the exception of seasonal allergies. Is it possible this implant is the source of my inflammation? I sincerely believe it is. My shoulder is still tender and sore. COULD IT BE TE METAL OR SCREWS THEY PLACED IN ME?????

thanks for consulting HCM
usually Anchors are applied to hold rotator cuff muscles and these can be of titnium or bioabsorbable material. Any one can cause allergy but very rare. So go for CRP and TLC.
