Bless you! I just had that done and I'm freaking out about the removal...
Had my second hammertoe done with the bunion I had my pin in for 6 weeks just got it out at the very tip of my toe it feels like nerve endings I can't put my shoe on I'm still swollen it's been 6 weeks hoping this will end soon
Had my pin taken out yesterday after a month did not hurt at all the stitches they removed hurt worse. Don't worry
I had surgery September 28th 2017 and still have the pins in all 4 toes. They put a plate with 1 pressure screw and 5 screws in my big toe that will be there until I die. I will not get the pins out before November 15th. I think it all depends on your issues. I will be having my right foot done in February of 2018.
I totally agree.. And my experience wasn’t a quick tug,, It was more like a slow twisting with their hand, and then the tug at the end... I felt that sh*t in my ankle... I wore my pin for 6 weeks by the way.. No idea why because today over a year later almost two had April came around again, I’m looking a a pin right now!!!! In the same toe because once in there to place another screw....... The bone had never fused back together
Dnt DO It!!!!!!!
Hope you’re not a patient of Dr. Monday
Lawanda Monday..Wore a pin for 6 weeks.. Same exact procedure... Went in for an ingrown toe nail!!!!
Surgery for a tailors bunion (10/2417) that was a result of the first procedure almost two years ago...
Once inside he found that the bone never fused back together from the pin

Thank you I get my pins remove on Dec 29. 2017..
I have pins in three of my toes at the moment, they’re due to come out next week, they’ve been in six weeks. I had my other foot done last year and to be honest, when the pins came out I didn’t feel a thing, there aren’t any nerves in the bone, you feel the tugging but it doesn’t really hurt.
Thanks for sharing this information, while I am not the person who asked the question, I had surgery on both of my feet and have 2 pins in each foot and they will be removing them this week and I too am a little nervous. I would like to ask if after the pins were removed did you go back to wearing a comfortable normal shoe and were you able to drive or did you have to wait?
In Jan of this yr I had hammer toe surgery done on both feet on my 2nd & 3rd toes. The pins were in for 6wks. I did not feel a thing when they were taken out. Your toes will be a little tender for a few days, but that is all.
I had my pins removed today. Big toe and 4th toe. Very painful for me. I almost fainted. Had leftover pain pill from right after surgery. Wish I had taken it first. BUT, everyone is different. If the stitches removal didn’t bother you, which it did me, then your pain threshold may be higher than mine.
I’m getting mine removed in four weeks; can you walk right after? How about shoes?
I had my left toe joint replaced and the hammer toe next to it fixed at the same time. I haven’t been able to walk for a month. I’m home bound and bed bound cause I can’t do anything unless it’s something I can divsitting. I have a small scooter I can go to the bathroom fortunately so that’s worked well.
I can my pin out next week. (Total 5 weeks)
The stitches getting removed hurt horribly and I too am scared to get the pin out. I was told swelling can be several months so not sure what shoes I will be able to wear.
I have a great husband who works hard all day. He makes breakfast for me, leaves a nice sandwich in the fridge for me, comes home and cooks dinner for us. He’s also kept up on laundry, vacuuming, etc., so I’ve been very lucky. Don’t know how I would’ve got through it without him.

I am 44 years old and just had my pins removed from 3 toes. It was absolutely excruciating. He was wrenching on them to get them out. He said in his 20 years of practice, he never had that happen. I was sobbing. I have a good pair tolerance but that was unreal. I say this not to scare anyone but to tell you that you might have pain when no one else does. I know I did. It’s real. It’s possible but may be unlikely. It doesn’t feel good to tell people you have pain and they say you don’t because you shouldn’t.
