i have had my levels tested again 5 years after a hip revision. *-chromium level was 3.0 and cobalt levels were 1.0. both are a little over twice the upper limit of normal, is this a concern?

I'm not sure what is usual, when my blood was tested 1 year post-removal, my levels were near/just above upper limits of normal. They haven't been retested because I had no more symptoms. Are you still having problems?
