Absolutely not. They finally found out what they were doing to people-we were guinea pigs!

Google or Research: Recent hip failures-metal on metal-All they answers as well as all the "Ambulance Chacers" will be there for your review. You are one of the lucky ones. The doctors all knew 3 years before they bothered to let us know there were problems. Simple Blood Test.

I started to squeak like the Tin Man and you could hear me while I was rooms away for 10 days before I could see the doctor-I was farthing out particles of those metals in my hips. X Rays showed rotten skin from metal poisoning all around "both hips". Do your homework. I heard that my manufacture (Wright Co,- Wrong Co.) sold out to China. J & Johnson the worse case scenario-you will see it all on
line. Good luck with the surgery. I had 4 of those and now need knees- going to wait it out!

"Cancer Magnet" is what some of my doctors are honestly telling us now-won't name them, but at least honest. Too late for 500,000 of us.

Thank you for your reply. I'm so sorry for the problems that you have had. Doctors aren't using that type of replacement anymore are they?<br />
I hope your hips are better now ? What did you use the 2nd time around?<br />
I will read the info on google. I saw Dr. Blasser at Mayo in Jax's. Have you heard anything about him? I want to use the anterior approach.<br />
Did your arthritis move to your knees. I am only 53 years old. OMG I can't believe I had this happen to me?<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks again for the info.<br />

This was posted some time ago, but I am contemplating hip and knee surgery (both give me a lot of pain), and these things you are discussing frighten me. One big reason is that every time I have seen an orthopedic surgeon, they hurry me out of the office, maybe showing me an x-ray, tellilng me nothing more than "You need a hip (or knee) replacement."
