[|Human|] I had jaw surgery in Feb 2012. I am now experiencing constant headaches , throbbing and strange sensations around my face, including my ears and nose. I recently lost my sight for a few mins and since then it has not been the same. I am waiting for tests at the hospital, they have sent me to a stroke clinic. But now after doing my own research I am starting to wonder if I have an allergy to the titanium plates in my lower jaw.
[|AI|]  Hello Holly, The symptoms are serious, and you have rightly been sent to the stroke clinic for a CT/MRI to exclude a brain event. If you suffer from rhinosinusitis you must let your doctor know so that a sinus CT is done at the same time and obviously to see the position of the plates. If you are on steroids or any immunosuppressant Chat Doctor.  As I said temporary the recovery is usually 100%, but all tests must be done especially if you have risk factors of heart disease, diabetes. Allergy to metal plates is a hypothetical possibility, but never actually proven in real life in most patients who have allergic reactions after metal prosthesis. Thanks.
