Pain off and on since original hip replacement in 2003.Started severe pain down incision scar followed with huge boil like place, hot to touch, red, constant pain, and running fever.Took until (b)(6) 2019 to see my orthopedist.He immediately drained infection, sent off for testing and was immediately transferred to (b)(6)."dr (b)(6)." metal poisoning from recalled prosthesis and i was never notified.Biomet prosthesis, having to have 1st surgery with an antibiotic spacer for 6 wks, then to follow a complete hip revision.Staying in constant pain, incision draining and bandage changed throughout the day.Running fever not over 101.Not my fault that it has taken this long or my body to get this infected into the bone.No one notified me of recalled defective prosthesis, and i should have been informed.I have gone through hell for the last 4 months, and have a long, extensive, and long recovery ahead of me.Biotech should be liable.
