HI Froggy,

took a couple weeks to check wound for healing and being allowed to shower without restriction, same time I was allowed to program my SCS for function. Some others on here are programmed by the company rep in surgery or shortly thereafter,

took a few weeks to get the hang of the SCS so as to KNOW it was managing my nerve pain.... then I began a doc managed regimen of weaning off of the pain meds,

then the weeks of physical therapy and such so there were a good few months all told in my personal situation.

Even so, with implant in July, and since I had been out of work due to the seriousness of my car wreck induced trauma, it was a bit longer to secure employment and get going. You know what????? I did!!!!! Resumed my career in all respects, and that was worth a LOT!

Yup,
