I'm due to have a spur removal in my ankle. the pain is unbearable today and my pulse is visible. is this ok?

Not OK.: Give your surgeon a call and see if he can give you some suggestions based on his pre-surgical assessment. Unbearable pain is not OK and either your surgeon or a pain specialist should be consulted.
