I have a paddle with 20 contacts. It took about six weeks to recover. I had to have a revision, but I fell and knocked mine cockeyed. My surgery was done under general anesthesia. The pain was bad the first week, but I took my meds so I wasn't playing catchup and it helped. I've been through two surgeries, and I'm still kicking. I even had complications ths time. (totally unrelated to scs; it works great)
