Due to my recent bike accident I had to have several screws in my foot. Everything has healed well and today while at the orthopedic doc he asked if I wanted the screws out. I told him I didn't know and asked why would I want them taken out? Well, he said that they would eventually break but I probably wouldn't know it. He said there would be no ill effects from leaving them in. So here's my question. For those of you that have had similar (or know someone that has) should I leave them or have them removed?
