I'm so glad to hear they will try to help you so soon. I am so nervous to have mine removed (4-14) Please let me know how it was. I will certainly keep you in my thoughts!
I am having some of the same problems that you are but mine are not constant. They come and go. I tried to wait, but I'm DONE now. I want it out! I just got my date yesterday.
Good Luck to you and I cant wait to hear how you did.
