Anyone out there had any trouble with titanium hardware or clips left in the body after surgery? I had knee surgery years ago and they used titanium screws to hold two bone grafts together. My body wasn't too happy about it and started growing bone around the hardware (bone spurs) to isolate it, which caused excruciating pain. Luckily, the bone grafts took well and they were able to remove the screws. I've just found out that I have 2 clips in my pelvis (bilaterally) that were left in from my total hysterectomy (for uterine cancer) almost 2 years ago. I've been experiencing menstrual cramp-like pain in my abdomen, lower back pain, daily headaches, "brain-fog", moments of dizziness/faintness, fatigue and I'm wondering if it's related to the clips...
