Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly
thanks for using healthcaremagic site ,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..

In my opinion i dont think you pulled a pin out that is very rare , as orthopedic surgeons pinning is usually made rigid to maintain the fixation of your bone fractures , any manipulations to your wrist will be painful especially in your first week if pain , bruising and swelling increases i suggest you need to visit your surgeon for reevaluation by a X rays for proper management .
