i’ve had a metal rod in my arm for 10 years now i want it removed?
hi its never too late to remove any implant in your body. i myself being an orthopaedic surgeon have removed rods those were 15-20 years old. you are too young to keep the rod inside your arm for another 50-60 years or so. it would have been better if it was removed within 2 years of inserting it. its pretty difficult to remove it after 10 years but definitely not impossible. you wont need to get amputed dont worry. once the rod is removed you will be fit within 3- 4 weeks time. thanks
