Wow. Well, I didn't think I am the only unicorn with this problem. As I told Dr. Howard in London ON yesterday, sometimes there will be an oddball like me. Dr. Howard did give me a script for cefalexin yesterday. I started back on it last night as soon as I was back in town. I go back to him in a month. I am confident that I will be pain free and on the golf course by mid June. I also had a consult with Dr. Wayne T North at Henry Ford in Detroit who also was prepared to write the script. But I could only fill that script in Michigan. My Canadian drug plan won't pay for it. My GP would have to sign off, which he said he was willing to do, given a full set of info from Dr. North. I think that it was the video on my iPhone showing my leg shaking uncontrollably, that helped Dr. Howard to consent. I am so glad I had the presence of mind that day last week to grab my phone and take that video because two bone scans, two white cell scans, a MAR CT scan and an aspiration with culture demonstrated nothing. Neither the multitude of blood tests. It puts the doctor in a tight spot. Also, I had a bad COVID19 during surgery. And the iV antibiotic fell out when I woke in recovery. The nurse couldn't put it back in as she was unqualified so I lay in bed with a high fever sweating for 7 hrs waiting for the next nurse. I think I got screwed from the get-go.

@bellatheball I would consult with my primary physician and see if they would order a Cobalt / Chromium blood test or seek a second opinion from another orthopedic surgeon. Had to do that from my wife, and she ended up finding that she had toxic levels of both chemicals. Best of luck
