Anyone had corrective surgery for THR uncemented ??

I had revision surgery in March to replace a metal on metal Hip replacement. Original surgery, I thought was a success, in 2009 until I experienced extreme pain , unable to walk unaided last summer. High levels of cobalt and chromium resulted in replacement surgery. Anyone else with similar tale? I am 45 yr old female.

I also had a metal on metal hip implant in 2009. Only minor pains until now, but it didn't feel right, so it was investigated and found to have tissue growths around it, with high levels of cobalt in my blood. Had my pre-op assessment today, and am now waiting for revision op - surgeon will replace with ceramic on ceramic, he said.
How did your revision go? Did you take longer to recover? And how is your hip now, three months on? Mine has just this week started to hurt more, and is definitely more "clicky"!

I was told at my pre-op assessment yesterday that I wouldn't have the pretty white pressure stockings - YAYYY! - but a month of tablets instead. Can't remember the name of them.
