Broke my ankle a time back. Over the past several weeks, I've had a bump appear on the inside of my ankle. I thought a bone had shifted.

Nope.

Screw is backing out.

Now I have to go under the knife again to have this damn thing taken out.

You should show up to your appt. w/ some loctite.

He'll want the red, not the blue.....

That is some crazy shizbit right there. I agree with the loctite! Good luck, praying for ya

Our son found something similar. He said "Hell, I have screw driver, I could do it." The Mrs. has forbid us to be in the same room together with a screwdriver and bourbon.

Ouch. Not fun. Definatly have it removed.

I paid 2k to have 3" screw in my ulna removed.
Worth every penny.

Office procedure under local. You should be in and out in a half hour. No biggie.

I broke my leg and a lot of stainless steel was used to bolt it together. After It was all removed, all kinds of weird stuff surfaced. My Doc said it was fine. It was ick.
