Would need to know: a lot more about your condition to discuss that one responsibly. Best to have a candid talk with the surgeon/ orthopod. Take care.

Depends: often you will not have any symptoms in your leg depending where the bullet is It usually is encapsulated and does not hurt you If by bone could irritate a nerve root and cause you some discomfort It is hard to predict but followup with a provider if any symptoms
