Received the blood work. I am highly allergic to the nickel in my knee replacement. After a year of healing to know that a blood test (that should have been offered to me) would have saved me the pain and trauma of a revision. NEVER get a replacement without it!! If you have to beg, borrow or steal the $$ do not get a replacement without it. Now, I have to find a doctor that specializes in revisions. Revisions are far more complicated than just a knee replacement. I just want to cry.......
