So I am going to go with my original OS and I am trying to decide if I should go in to surgery and have them attempt full hardware removal (they said any plates that ha...

Re: Has Anyone had Plate Removal?
Tilly and Arvensis, did you have any side effects (additional numbness, nerve damage, damage to teeth or tissues) during the plate/screw removal? Also, was all of your hardware able to be removed?
