Re: If U R chemically sensitive...

I was advized to strap a sample of the polypropelene mesh to my skin for a day to monitor any reaction
A rash developed only at the site of the mesh surround so the surgeon was confident that he could repair the hernia without any future problems
However in the ensuing 6 months I have suffered Arthritis in my fingers and toes due to my immune system treating the mesh as a foreign object - in my opinion
To remove the Mesh after it has merged with my tissues is out of the question - I will have to live with it
