If one dr says i am too fused to remove the second screw and bar from my tibia, is that it? or can someone else? it causes constant pain. (3y old)

Maybe: Without seeing the xray and evaluation the problem the first sugeon has had it is not possible to give any deginitive answer get another consultation . You pain may be xoming from somthing totally different. Buried pins usually ar not painful.
