So I don't know where else to put this -
Has anyone on here had metal plates removed?
I have one in my forearm and it's causing a little trouble. Awaiting an X-ray to see if there's been movement but otherwise it's my decision as to whether I want it removed or not.
Just wondering if anyone had any experience in optional removal and the pros/cons?

I think this question is for Dr Junior82

Good luck with this one young lady. Sounds like pain whichever choice you make. I thought plates were there to give support and strength. Removing it might create a weakness. What about a replacement plate?
Coops, didn't you once wear a metal/foil hat?
What do you mean by "once"?
Its the only way I can protect myself from the forums :-)

The plate was put in to assist the healing when they surgically broke my arm. It's just kinda chillin there now.

If you get it removed you can no longer be known as CyborgTracey. Just saying.

Maybe you mean Chris Kerr. It's easy to get us confused.
But if you want some bollocks advice I'm open for business.

Soz.
I just thought you were one from your twitter name.
So with this info, I will offer the following non-qualified advice:
Take two paracetomol and if you still haven't decided what to do by the morning it's probably a virus in which case take plenty of water and rest up.

In my job we have several guys by that name. I wonder if they did group therapy?

What does your specialist say? If he/she after looking at your X-rays thinks the plates need to be removed then go for it. Bone regrows after all.
Good idea to check at what level your specialist is though. Reg or Consultant.
Specialist will have the x-ray in the next few days. My next appt is two weeks away.
He said at my last appt (2 weeks ago) that if x-ray was clear then it's up to me. If it's hurting/annoying then I could get it taken out. It is causing a bit of pain though so leaning towards removal.
Just wanted to see if anyone else had had it done.

I worked at ACC for a number of years helping people after accidents. People getting metal removed was a regular thing. Always a little tender and weak at the start but after some physio, well worth it.
