Hi Thanks for your query I need to see your feet x ray picture before give my advice. Meanwhile the cause of your suffering seems to be weight and osteoporosis.Regading this once a month pill of Ibandronate, weekly dose of vitamin D 60k and calcium helps. You may discuss with your doctor regarding this and removal of pin can be planned. I shall be glad to answer any further query of yours (http://bit.ly/drmchugh). Take care
