I found out that I need a total joint replacement for TMJ.
The componenets in the implant are titanium, chromium-cobalt, and high molecular weight polyethelene. Do you think that any of these would cause a reaction in my body?
I don't know what to do. My joints are very degenerated and I am in a great deal of pain.
thank you for your time.

ps..I posted my MRI report a while ago and have had surgery since then to remove the debris from my disc that no longer is there.

Thanks, Lee.
It really is a crime that no one told you how to resolve your bracing (the cause of TMJ) long ago. That was back when the dental profession (ADA) was busy revoking the licenses of any dentist who dared to suggest this diagnosis to their patients.
You can blame your present condition directly on the ADA and it's political agenda--just like the mercury problem will be blamed directly on the ADA in the near future.
These are the best materials presently available.
