Yes I have both hips replaced. And I’m going to have a revision surgery on the right . Due to high levels of cobalt and chromium . My cobalt is 13.6 and my chromium is 6.7 . My surgery is scheduled for the end of October.

Very good luck to you! My revisions were a dozen years ago now, and they're still behaving well - I wish the rest of my joints felt as good.

I know you will be so much better following; may I ask what hospital / physician will do the surgery?

May we ask where you reside and who your surgeon is that will be doing your revisions? Wishing you the best! TIA
