Suggest Medication To Ease Reaction To Nickle Used For Knee Replacement

I had double knee replacements in april 2015, and am suffering from a tightness banding sensation, I had an orthopedic panel study test which showed I am highly reactive to the nickel used in the replacements. 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

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.

Regards,
Dr. Kaushal Bhavsar,
