I have 15 and 16 year old Birmingham hip resurfacings that are causing immense pain now. Getting a doctor to do anything has proved futile so far.
I have limited ROM in the right, the older, and it often squeaks like a rusty hinge with each step. Cobalt and chjromium levels have been high since they were put in...Not super high but around 10.
Can anyone reccomend a revision surgeon in the Syracuse / Cortland/Binhamton areas.
Dr. Lawrence Weisner had agreed to do them, but is now ghosting me. Also have nerve involvment and just immense pain.

I am having the same issues. My surgeon did not review my records or discuss with me prior to hip replacement. Now losing ability to walk. My area has limited doctors with requisite skills to do the revision or won't six work done by another. This is getting to be an ugly situation. My advice is not to give up and locate a doctor to take you on.
They take a vow to do no harm and when they do they should be held accountable. Reputation is not your problem.
