Hi Angie please don't be nervous of having the coil removed it is so small it should not cause any pain when being remove. I had mine removed last year after 6 long months of unbearable problems especially emotional, I only felt a little tug and beleive me it was worth it I am back to my usual self and have never felt better, although It will take a few months for the side effects of the coil to leave your system but don't give up and have it removed as soon as possible , good luck maria
