Hello! I was wondering if I could be allergic to the metal I have in my foot and ankle from a reconstructive foot and ankle surgery? I was diagnosed 8 years ago, after my surgery, with RSD, and now MS. But, I have always had an allergic reaction to metals. My surgeons told me the hospital grade surgical steel would not be an issue, as nobody can be allergic to it, but I have seen and read differently. I am curious what steps I must take in order to find out if I am allergic to the hardware or not? I assume a blood test? Thank you for taking the time to read this!
