Hello,
Well who said you that you are allergic to nickel. Yes Co-Cr implants contain nickel but that's the inert material. There are lots of other reason than what you are thinking. do regular quadriceps and hamstring strengthening exercises. take some pain killer.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Anuj Gupta, Spine Surgeon
