Try to get operated again from the same surgeon,  who has put the rod. Consult and go for operation.

Taking out of IM rod has similar risks as any other surgery. Only thing that must be remembered that after so many years there is a lot of bone build-up around the implant and the rod might be stuck inside. There is less than 1% chance that your surgeon might not be able to take out the stuck implant. It is successful in 99% cases.
