Hi there and a big welcome to the forum. You found a great place...congrats on your search.
There is so much that goes on the first two weeks and that is also the time of most pain. Yes please mention every little thing to your rep. He is going to print a read out of the SCS activity and that stays in your file for comparisons against future read outs.
As each of us heal differently ...FOR ME..my SCS created more pain also until I was able to rest properly...translate here to "do nothing" which was very hard as I had to work.
It's new...it's scarey...it hurts...they should take an x ray too to look at the position of the SCS and battery...keep us updated...we are all interested and here for advice and comfort.
