Ankle fusion gone wrong

I had an ankle fusion operation in January 2013 and it has not been successful. I have a broken plate in my ankle and have valgus deformity. I suffer severe pain and swelling to my ankle. I am told I need all the metal work taking out and then corrective surgery. My operation was done in Pilgrim Hospital in Boston Lincolnshire. I have had a second opinion at Queens medical hospital Nottingham, and a third opinion at Leicester General hospital and non of these surgeons want to operate and have referred me back to my original surgeon at Boston.

Has anyone else had any similar problems with this operation and can you offer me any advice.
