I wouldn't like it if was me. I would want to know what he meant by metal in

your muscles, I have never heard of that before. and how does this

supposedly work its way out . very odd. ask more questions.

-- post op checkup on hip revision

I finally had my post op checkup yesterday. I was told there is metal in my

muscles and it needs to work itself out. Otherwise, stretching excersizes

will get me back to normal. I asked where would this metal go once it works

itself out? " We'll deal with that when the time comes " . Also come back

next week for more xrays. How do you read this appointment?

I agree with .  Metal in the muscles is a very odd statement.  My doc would

have mentioned it, I hope, he was pretty forthcoming with how the hip

replacement worked.  Maybe researching this on Google would help a bit...do ask

more questions. 

Keep us posted!

Odd thing is he didnt even take xrays on my visit! Says the xray machine was

broke. So he must have known about the metal before the surgery. I wonder if it

was broke because I told them my ins.was cancelled due to being off so long

with this hip problem!

You may want to insist on a prescription to go to another facility for an xray.

Just because their machine is out of service does not mean you can't or

shouldn't have an xray.

Also, everyone should take a friend or family member with them to the first few

appointments so that you both hear what the MD says. You only get a few minutes

with them face to face and now you don't have answers. That's not going to give

you any peace of mind!

I am going for the xrays next week. Wonder how he knew theres metal in the

muscles without an xray? I always take someone along for just that reason and I

cant hear much to boot.
