I'll ask my orthopedist or my primary about the test. About seven years ago my hips were x-rayed. I was told it showed little wear. Perhaps it's time to look again. Thanks for the response.

I had no symptoms except for increasing Cobalt and Chromium in a blood test that was specifically for that. But I had a replacement that was a DePuy and had been recalled. I had that replaced with a revision just short of 7 years.
