Post hammertoe surgery - pin is sliding out

Posted , 1 user is following.

I am three weeks out from my bunion and hammertoe surgery. All is healing well but the pain has really gotten to me this time around. (I had the other foot done two years back.) In uncovering some of my bandages, I noticed that my pin has come out significantly (about 3/4 of an inch). Very gently tried moving it back in but it won't budge. Has this happened to anyone else?
