What Are The Symptoms Of Allergy To Nickel?

i am allergic to the metal Nickel, I learned that after I started wearing some of my daughters cheap jewelry. I was told that I may have been exposed to Nickel internally, after a surgery to fuse my L4-L5 vertebra I the found out that the implants were coated with Nickel. Are there any symptoms that I should be looking for or aware of?

Orthopedic like bone pain,bony erosion, bone loosing etc
But u need to not worry as this reactions or complications occur very rarely as nowadays new generation implants used in Ortho surgery.
