.....was very quick and I didn't feel a thing. Like Jackie said, my doc was chatting to me and I had no idea he had taken the leads out while yacking!

Like others mention, the REAL difficult part was waiting to get the permanent. It was so wonderful to get the temporary pain relief from the trial, but once the leads were taken out, pain may come back with a vengeance. Hopefully you won't have a very long interim before getting your permanent.

Sorry to hear about the bunionectomy causing the RSD.....I've got bunions developing and I actually wondered if that would happen if I eventually had surgery to correct my feet!
