Welcome to our friendly forum, were a good bunch and we like to offer support and a helping guiding hand when we can.
I got my SCS last December and the trial a few weeks before that, my trial didn't go as planned but my Dr decided to go ahead with the implant anyway and boy what a difference it made to my life, I was like a new person, gone was the pale face that was always in pain and in it's place was the old me. I had the implant for left back and leg pain. I have gotten alot more relief from my leg than my back. Within a few weeks I was back walking a fair bit and feeling more comfortable in myself.
My Dr is considering adding another stim for my right side with greater emphasis on my back pain.
At the moment my baca isnt good and im in alot of pain with it but ill get there,

Best of luck with everything and take it easy after the surgeries,
You know where we are if you've any other questions or queries

Lots of hugs
