I had a high tibial osteotomy back in 2015, and along with that, my surgeon implanted a plate and screws. I joked with him afterward, and asked if I might be able to use magnets as decoration.
Today, though, I had a very odd sensation over the surgery point. I was wearing my AFO, and felt like something was poking me, but I couldn't feel whether it was external or internal.
Later, I'm now feeling more of that odd poking sensation, but it feels internal now - just over my tibia. Does anyone think this sounds concerning, or should I not be worried at this point?

Is this a known affect of your disability?
Could you ask the gp to check you over to make sure the screws and plates haven't slipped?
Hope you find a solution soon.
