Surgical screw has completely backed out of my foot - #10186

Matthew Westberry

Hi around 8 years ago I was in a car accident and had a metal plate and screws placed in my foot. Well two days ago the screw completely came out off my foot at home. Im concerned because clear yellow fluid keeps squinting out and running down my foot. I have a appointment Monday but if it's a really bad infection I don't want to wait and loose my foot. What should I do go to ER or wait til appointment
