Should I have Tibia Hardware Removed after Healing?

Update
I had one of two screws near my knee removed and it totally resolved pain in my knee going up and down stairs. I also had two screws removed near my ankle and the numbness in my foot has improved greatly
I will leave the rod in for fear of further trauma to my knee
I am so glad I had this done and I hope it gives good information to those considering having hardware removed. It’s been two years since my bike accident

@don34 I had all my ankle fracture fixation hardware removed from my ankle because of pain and I was having chronic hives for months. The surgeon said I was at risk for fracture after that because of the holes left from the screws. That resolved everything and the holes fill in with new bone in time. I am glad I had the hardware removed.
