Hip resurfacing

Posted by dica @dica, 1 day ago

I had a hip resurfacing 21 years ago. It is now causing me pain. I was sent for bloodwork and it came back with high Chromium levels. That is a sign the prosthesis is deteriorating and I was wondering if anyone can tell me what probably is my next step. I have heard of revision surgery but apparently that is not as easy as the first time. Anyone out there have any idea how that works.
