I need to have pin removed after bunion -hammertoe surgery. It hurts when I walk and is trying to poke through the bottom of my foot. I had the surgery because of pain in the ball of my foot. I am a nurse... need to work for ten more years or so. Like to hike, like to walk. Surgery was four months ago. I have been in tennis shoes since December and back to work since December. Shooting pain started shortly after I returned to work. I am turning my foot all the time to the left to prevent putting pressure on the area where the pin is hurting. My doctor is finally going to get the pin out next week. Hope I can start walking normally again as I am gunshy about putting weight on the surgical part of the left foot. I want to start jogging this summer. I am 56 years old and very active. My main question is just... am I going to feel better eventually? So far, my foot is worse than before the surgery. To make matters worse I found out that my surgeon recently sued my employer for something so I am in the midst of changing doctors because he no longer does surgery at my hospital. Fortunately his partner has agreed to take the pin out. I am not making this up!
