Is there any medication I can take to ease this side effect. I really do not wan to have them both replaced again as I am only 57 yrs old
Reaction to heavy metals is very common. Your symptom of tightness around knee joint will definitely subside with anti-allergic and antihistamine drugs.

Suggest Medication To Ease Reaction To Nickle Used For Knee Replacement
Hi, Reaction to heavy metals is very common. Your symptom of tightness around knee joint will definitely subside with anti-allergic and antihistamine drugs. So start a combination of antihistamine (Levocetirizine or Fexofenadine) and anti-allergic (Montelukast.) Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
