A member asked:
Should i be worried about pain being relatively the same as right after my surgery. i had 3 screws and a plate put in to fix my broken fibula.

Pain after fx pinnin: This would largely depend on how LONG after your PIN AND PLATE SURGERY you are. Perhaps you could respond and inform where the pin is and how long after surgery you are, how severe pain is and if pain occurs at rest OR only on ambulation.
