removing surgical pins from a broken clavicle

hi, all,

after 3 years or so, the pins and screws in my right clavicle are causing me minor but persistent discomfort. my orthopod at the time said I could leave them in if they gave no discomfort. I'm seeing him Wednesday. will probably schedule the surgery for the fall (don't want to disrupt my summer internship). if you've broken a clavicle or something else, and had it surgically pinned, I'm curious to hear your experiences. if you got them out, did it worse the scarring?
