Hello,
In that case you can get a endoscopy done to have look at this region to see if at all the pin has injured any of the mucosa.Possible injury by the pin is most likely cause of the pain.
I hope the xray covered most of the region where pin can get lodged.If not then repeating a xray might also be a option.
Regards.
