Spinal cord stimulator implantation requires the use of small incisions to place the percutaneous electrode, so most patients will be put under for the procedure. Many patients are able to go home the same day, once the anesthesia has worn off. The incisions themselves will take around 2 to 4 weeks to be fully healed, and it is recommended to avoid work and regular activity until approved by your doctor after the recovery time has passed. Every recovery plan will be different, so it is important to meet with your doctor as often as they recommend to ensure that your recovery is on track and that the incisions are healing properly.
