What about both? GI first, since eating is vital.
Then Ortho - find a doc who specializes in complex revisions. Imaging (beyond x-ray) will be needed to evaluate the current status. The description of your tissue at revision is characteristic of the metallosis issue, but that is gone now - all removed at surgery. So something else is going on - perhaps related to your earlier traumatic injury.
