Hi Gaia,
A sacral neurostimulator can be removed if it needs to be. But if you are for sure going to have PNE surgery and are just waiting for the date to arrive, I'm not sure if a physician would want to do an implant because it is an invasive procedure so it's not entirely without risk. They might prefer to prescribe medication temporarily, but I can't say for sure.

Hi Gaia,
Who is doing your decompression surgery? Is you insurance helping pay for it?
Some surgeons implant a stimulator at the time of their surgeries, in case the surgery doesn't help, although I don't think they were doing decompression surgery.
I tried the DRG nerve stimulator. It's a major surgery. It's not a temporary fix.
