Ankle pins

[YellowLemonshade]

I had emergency surgery to repair a compound fracture, leaving me with 6 pins and 2 plates in my ankle.
Im feeling very squeamish about the metalwork and starting to dread when I have to walk on the bad foot again - will I be able to feel the pins? Will it crunch and grind? Over time will it become painful?
Didn’t get much info from the hospital - can anyone reassure me, please?

I have an ankle full of metalwork. I never notice it's there tbh. I can't feel anything, I've had it for years.

The only thing that reminds me it's there is paddling in cold water, it doesn't like it for some reason.

Hope you recover quickly
