I had a nerve stimulation and the leads kept moving. Surgery is not too painful. I'd be sure you ask for sedation.

My SCS had a paddle lead that was sutchured in place so it could not move. Of course that didn’t prevent some of the electrodes from eventually burning out.

You were fortunate, my removal was excruciating...we all have different experiences but yes one def needs sedation and an experienced Dr. I refused to let my pain Dr do removal and requested it be done by a surgeon.
