I agree with bagboy. I did the patch test and showed no reaction but I do react to cheap jewelry and opted for the blood test 2 months ago ($285) and it showed I am extremely allergic to nickel. One of my neighbors had another doctor replace her first knee without testing and she's had 1 1/2 years of pain and swelling. Needs to be replaced with ceramic.
