Thanks. There are no perfect solutions to anything and what I've learned so far is that investigation is one thing but ignorance is bliss, in the end.
The crossroads of my catch 22, is that the M6 is great but you need good bone health. The Activ L is great but my blood tests show slight reactivity to chrome and nickel.
So, do you flip a coin?
A lot of people I've talked to have done neither the DEXA bone scan or the metal analysis test. Just got their ADRs.
So... Ignorance, is it bliss or not? There is no predicting the future. You just must live your life as it comes at you.
