@bweaver2025 ty so much. I'm still hunting. Went to see a so called revision surgeon buy got the impression he had limited experience. Too many ortho are all about sports medicine as it is a better source of $$ I'm not sure where to look anymore and running out of options. May head back to Cleveland Clinic as the closest medical center. Take care and let me know when you get the help you need.

Jimmy Chow replaced my hip and three days ago my right knee. I had zero pain from the hip and minor pain from the knee. I was prescribed Oxy both times and never used any.
Dr. Chow is a revision surgeon. About 20% of his work is revisions. You need someone like Dr. Chow. For my knee which was bone on bone and badly misaligned so I had severe heel pain as well, he did a subvastus method (under the muscle and tendon instead of cutting them and later repairing them), used no tourniquet, used a CORI robot to assist him, put in a Journey II bicruciate retained implant (a big deal...instead of cutting the PCL and ACL ligaments, he saved both and protected them with the new implant) and did a functional alignment.
Dr. Chow has an international practice. I tell you about him because this is the type of surgeon you need.
If you are developing a metal allergy there are implants that are made of other material (e.g., oxidized zirconium). You need to do as much research as you can to find a really good revision surgeon (just because someone says he does revisions doesn't mean he does them well or often).
Good luck.
