Is Going To Tanning Bed Safe With Metal Plate And Screws In Ankle?
I broke my ankle 11 years ago and I have a metal plate and seven screws. I want to start going to the tanning bed but I am not sure if it is safe with my ankle. I understand there are other health related issues and tanning beds but I am at this moment concerned about the the plate and screws. Can you tell me wether or not there are any risks.
Regarding your concern, I would explain that there are no risks from the tanning bed in your clinical situation. It is quite safe. So, there is nothing to worry about!
