Hi,
I suggest that this is not probable due to the MRI machine as it merely alters the spin of protons and not titanium metal. There can be no question that the pain and numbness that you have is due to nerve issues after surgery. I suggest that you take Neurobion and you can try Carbamazepine to alter the extra neural signalling that is causing the pain (Dampening of neuronal forest fire activation).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Neel Kudchadkar
