    Hi Nicole. No they don't give you more pain relief. Call your own Drs surgery, explain what you've had done and can your Dr prescribe more pain relief?

    I can't help regarding removing the screw from your hammer toe. Mine has a pin in it whilst it fuses together and will be removed in 4 weeks time.

    Good luck with your healing process
