I'm so happy to hear that it's working for your husband! I have had my permanent implant in for 4 weeks on Thursday and I'm so grateful for the reduction in pain that the SCS has brought me. I have also noticed a decrease in swelling and redness of my knees that has lasted too. I can completely relate to your husband, it is an amazing feeling!!

This week during the trial, try to have him do regular activities as much as possible, which it sounds like he's planning on. It'll really give him an accurate assessment as to how well the device works in regular life. I also found it helpful to keep a pain diary during the trial.

Let me know if you have any questions
