Question about screws/rods in body...

This is for anyone who has screws or rods in their body due to operations.

Is it common for the area they are to ache when it's cold outside and is it true this lasts for as long as you live?

I ask because my pain is OK on the incision site, but below where the screws are, they get this deep ache to them when I'm cold.

Any info is appreciated.
