I have a question-

On Thanksgiving Day I was on my foot for way too long...had dinner at my house and the dr. had said I could stand on it with equal weight. Well sometime mid morning I realized I was not equal. All my weight had shifted to my injured foot. :(

Now I feel a hard bump at the base of my scar. Should I be feeling my pins/screws?

I had surgery with screws on my left foot and I could feel the head of the screw for years, not sure why I can't now. But this just appeared since Thanksgiving.

I see the dr. tomorrow. But I'm just worried sick about this. Anyone know anything about permanent screws/pins in your feet?

Morning all!

Oh kassie, I am so sorry to hear this. I do not know about permanent screws etc. of the medical kind. My only knowledge of permanent screws is the kind we all ecperience from Washington and fixed elections.

You have called your doctor , correct? Oh my...

Don’t jump to conclusions about that bump, kassie. I might be scar tissue.

I don’t have any pins and screws in my feet/ankles,,, mine are in my nice,, they hold the titanium rod where it’s suppose to be.
