Could pins in my foot move 2 yrs aft. surgery and cause pain? Has anyone had this happen or seen this.?

I had surgery in 2004 and had pins placed in the 5th metarsal (sp) right at the joint midfoot. No problems since. About a week ago I was laying down and just moved my foot as to strech. I felt what seemed like a %26quot;catch%26quot; in that area and it was painful. Today I had a pedicure and noticed it was VERY tender in that area now. No pain when walking or wearing shoes. Just when it was massaged. It looks like there might be a little swelling at one end of the scar where its tender/sore.
