@closer0043 may I ask how you’re doing now? I see in August 2025 you were waiting for results of cobalt and chromium after your resurfacing and one hip replacement. Would you mind sharing your levels and current condition now? i’m interested because of your suggestion of NAC; I plan to take your advice and try it. But I’m curious after six months now how you are doing. Thank you so much.

@hurkey Sorry I haven’t tested them since they went down originally after taking NAC for just a few weeks. I was recently diagnosed with an ascending aortic aneurysm, and that issue has dominated most of my concern these days. Plus, the lab that I used for testing has recently closed and moved an hour and a half away so I’m looking for a new lab. My doctors won’t test me since my numbers were never that high. According to my original test my chromium was 2.0 and cobalt 2.4 with normal being under 1.2 & 1.8. After just a few weeks the chromium went down to 1.7 & Cobalt dropped to normal at 1.5. If I test again I will update this post.
