Im not sure if it was because of the Birmingham papers or what? I saw my surgeon on Monday and from what he said all the info they are getting on all metal on metal replacements is coming from over seas. No one really knows what to do with these things, they dont know if there is a "safe level" of ions that can be in your body. The way the surgeons see it is that all metal on metal replacements are pretty much made the same no matter who makes them and they are starting to stop using them all together. Its only going to be a matter of time before they are all recalled. And speaking with the surgeon about replacing it again he said that because I had a hip resurfacing done on the right hip, when they replace it again with a total hip there is a very high chance I will lose some mobility. He said that if I had a total hip done the first time it wouldnt be a big deal to replace it again. Hes afraid to take it out and being 27 he doesnt want to see me loose my mobility. So hes telling me to wait. I dont know if that is the best decision to do...?
