I have two SCS's, both implanted at the same time. Was in and out of the hospital the same day. Have two remotes, so have one labeled so don't get them mixed up.

When I had my trials, I had each one done in the doctor's office and went home for five days. No problems other than making sure nothing got caught on the wires and they had put massive amounts of tape to make sure the leads wouldn't be accidentally pulled out. Then went back to dr. office to have trial removed. The difficult part was letting them take them out the trial as I'd loved the pain relief I'd gotten and I knew it would be weeks before I'd get the permanent ones put it. By the way, the trials were not done at the same time...the lumbar trial was done first and then the cervical trial was done about a month later.

Good luck!
