Please have the hardware that is helping you checked by your surgeon or another doctor. It may need adjustment or may be arthritic. Your doc will let you know and help you. When medical conditions are ruled out, consider clinical hypnosis (www.asch.net) and/or some self-help via www.relaxationresponse.org to manage the fatigue and discomfort. Peace and good health.

Get an xray of your hardware. It is possible for hardware to loosen, break or move. This can irritate the surrounding tissue. An orthopedic surgeon can evaluate this with an xray and office visit.
