Hi there,

Thanks for your query.

Pain radiating to your big toe with inability to bend it, indicates compression over or, irritation of the toe nerve by the plate and screws. Consult your doctor immediately before the nerve gets irreversibly damaged. The doctor will readjust the plate/screws to decompress the nerve.


You have not mentioned which pain-killers are you taking? Perhaps, oxycodone will help in relieving pain.

If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE ALL doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.

Fond regards and have a nice day
