Feet swelling since I had bunion surgery and a screw put in my right foot

I had surgery to remove a bunion from my right foot back in June of 2017. There is a permanent screw in my right big toe. Since surgery I have had swelling in my right foot. I have taken furosmede ( water pill), I've had dextrose with a steroid shots, and I have had my foot wrapped. The swelling goes down after the shots. I know I can't live on steroids forever. I truly believe I maybe allergic to the hardware in my foot. Has anyone else experienced this after bunion surgery and had hardware put in?
