Janie, you might talk to your surgeon about having screws removed. They could be causing the pain and there is probability that you no longer need them.

No, I have not. I believe I will at some point, although I dread another surgery and convalescent time, of not being able to walk for a while again. Thank you for your thoughts. 🙂
