Orif ankle surgery

2019-11-19 17:58:28
I had a bimalleolar ankle surgery done 5 weeks back and in complete rest now, there's not much pain but I can feel the screws. I feel like it's becoming loose but I don't have any swelling. Is it possible for the screws to get loose? I also have dark skin around the stitches, not the normal scab on the stitches but around the stitches area, is it normal?
