KNOWINGLY USED METAL ON METAL PARTS FOR LEFT TOTAL HIP REPLACEMENT! NEVER TOLD ME! NOW I HAVE METAL PARTICLES FLOATING IN MY BLOODSTREAM, CAUSING KIDNEY DAMAGE PLUS SEVERE ARTHRITIS PAINS, PLUS METAL SENSITIVITY/RASHES! DEPUY HAS A HUGE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OVER THIS METAL ON METAL ISSUE! DANGEROUS FOR EVERYONE! SURGEON NEVER TOLD ME I HAD METAL ON METAL, NEVER ORDERED ANY BLOOD TESTS TO CHECK CHROMIUM/COBALT LEVELS, KEPT REFILLING MY VICODIN FOR 2 YEARS FOLLOWING SURGERY! THIS IS NOT NORMAL!!! MY CONTINUED PAIN WAS CAUSED BECAUSE THE METAL CUP WAS NEVER PROPERLY INSTALLED IN MY LEFT HIP -- IT MOVED AROUND, CAUSING LEG TENDONS TO RUB AGAINST METAL CUP EDGE FOR OVER 3 YEARS! HE BOUNCED ME TO PAIN MANAGEMENT SPECIALISTS, NEUROLOGIST, RHEUMATOLOGIST, AND I SPENT MANY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OUT OF POCKET TO FIGURE OUT WHY I WAS HAVING SO MUCH PAIN!!!! FINALLY TOOK ALL MY X-RAYS AND SURGERY REPORTS TO ANOTHER ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON AND HE WAS THE ONE WHO TOLD ME I HAD METAL ON METAL PARTS!!! IMMEDIATELY ORDERED BLOODWORK TO CHECK METALS LEVELS AND A BONE SCAN TO SEE IF PARTS WERE SHIFTING! WHY DIDN'T MY ORIGINAL SURGEON EVER OFFER TO DO THIS
