any thoughts?
should i just leave it in, in fear that the surgery will make it even worse??
or bite the bullet and have it out, i am only 18.

Mark is right, this is a decision only you and your family can make. I was just wondering if your doctor might recommend only the battery be removed and the leads were left in place? This might aleviate the pain on the left buttock, but not cause the pain of tampering with the leads.
