I had a fracture of my wrist and had surgery. An orbay plate was put in. It has been 6 weeks and I am in constant pain and swollen. My doctor seems to think this is unusual and might consider removing the plate. Has anyone had this experience?? please help

Could you be allergic to whatever is in the plate?He should have checked that out before the surgery. I ask this because my mother in law had a knee replacement and was allegic to something in the new knee,it was nickel or something like that. You might want to check it out. You can get a free copy of your medical records from his office and the hospital where the surgery was done. It is amazing what you will find out about what really happened and what they say in those records. They have to be honest,because the records have to support the diagnosis and procedures. I used to work in a medical clinic in case your wondering how I know this. They are only required by law to give you one free set,after that they can charge you,so make sure if you give those copies to another doc or a lawyer you keep a copy for yourself. Hope you feel better soon. Keep me posted,I am really interested in what you find.
