I have 2 screws in the inner ankle bone too. Most of my pain is located here and I too can feel them digging in at times. Due to my bones and how they are now I doubt mine can ever be removed or I would lose a ball of bone which hasn't healed yet after 8 months. I say a ball of bone because that's what it looks like on the X-ray as I lost a lot of fragments when I shattered my ankle. I have much grief in this area. I have heard though that metal should only be removed if it's giving you trouble, usually around the 12 month mark.

Because I have delicate ankles the screw heads are prominent. And rub I can't put it down on it to go sleep my boot
When I put it on just rubs even padded around it I'm just praying it's healed enough
To be removed soon I can recover a lot faster then I hope you get better soon thank you Linda
