Is Surgical Hardware Causing Your Pain? How to Know When Removal Is Necessary


Listen Later

Lingering pain after surgery? Wondering whether plates, screws, or other hardware should be removed?


This is such a common issue, so we dive deep into the real question behind the question: How do you know if the hardware is the problem, or if something else is going on?


We break it down into three critical factors:

Tissue Capacity – Have you built up the strength and conditioning your body needs to handle the demands you're putting on it?

Acceptance – Do you still see the hardware as a foreign object, or have you mentally accepted it as part of you?

Psychosocial Healing – Have you processed the trauma of the injury? Do you feel safe moving again, or is your nervous system still stuck in threat mode?


We also share real-life stories of people who did need the hardware removed — and those who didn’t, but got better by focusing on mindset, strength, and healing from the inside out.


If you’re wondering whether your pain is physical, psychological, or both, this episode is for you. You are not broken. And you are not alone. Tune in to learn how to assess pain, make empowered choices about your recovery, and find real hope.
