Hi Rockabella! I had two SCS's implanted at the same time (cervical and thoracic) and only took off from work for 1 1/2 weeks. Yeah, I went back to work too soon! I think the pain you are experiencing at this point is pretty normal. Just keep an eye on things to make sure there is nothing else going on with them...like infection. Thankfully, I did not have that problem! It will take some time to get your full strength back, just take it easy while you are still healing. Make sure you get plenty of rest outside of work...and do not overdo it while at the office!

Wishing you the best...
