I had an operation on my hallux vulgus with metal holding the break together. the bone has grown back and is painful, can i re-operate?

Bunion surgery: Before I can say if a second operation is needed, I would need to know why you are still having pain and how long ago was your operation. Its best to get a second opinion at this time.
