Event Description
Eleven and half years ago i had a metal on metal hip replacement (depuy).Over the years my cobalt levels rose to a 5.On the above mentioned date, i had it fixed.In the last five months the cobalt has drained out of my system and my chromium is at a.9.What bothers me is the initial dr who put the replacement in never followed up to tell me or anyone else that there is a problem.I know there are more than 1 million people in the us who could benefit mentally and physically if they insisted, as i did, on getting their blood tested several times each year.This is not something that is initiated by drs.I feel blessed that i have the moxie to take my healthcare into my own hands.I know there are scores of others who do not know to do this.On (b)(6) 2007 initial hip replacement, (b)(6).On (b)(6) 2018 hip replacement.I have two hip replacements.
