Thanks for advice!
Yes, my trial was pretty quick I guess, It was placed on Monday a.m. and removed Thursday at 4 p.m. I had 3 days of intense physical therapy during that time and since I had the SCS my doctor told the therapist to "go for it and not hold back" and boy did they ever torture me
My back was very sore during that time but my neck area where the electrodes ended up was not. In fact my back is still sore.

Wow! I'm glad all is going well with the permanent for you! Maybe the battery will settle in and not protrude. Are you having any swelling there?
Is it easy to control the stimulation or do you keep it pretty steady?
How restricted are your movements while that heals?

I'll be interested in your recovery and experiences!
Thanks, Di
