    Hello Mollymay and welcome to the forum.

    I've not heard of anyone on here having trouble with metal on metal hips though one or two have raised concerns about them. I actually meant to ask my surgeon today if either of mine were metal on metal but I forgot. More people will see your thread if you post it on the Living With Arthritis forum. Good luck!
