Default scs activity level after implant

My doctor wants me to get a scs but I am worried about the activities I would be able to do afterwards. I have crps and ibknow initially it will help me complete ADLs BUT what about the things I love. For instance, horseback riding, scuba diving, mountain climbing, pole vaulting, kickboxing, etc. I've tried to explain to my dr that before this I was an extremist and do not want to give those things up. Also, I was in remission from crps for 8 years so he is actually hopeful for a remission after using the scs for 6 months to a year, but won't take it out if I go into remission. Now realisticly I'm not expecting remission, but for me it is a possibility sooo that is the dilemma. Would I be able to do any of those things again. Thanks for anyone's input.
