pain

Had pacemaker put in the Nov 9th.

Still have a lot of pain in my left shoulder. It like a never ending tooth ache. Had it check a week after surgery. No answer as why I have this pain.

nerves knitting back together

Hi and welcome. Even though its a little op just think what happens, we get a small incision, then the docs push our muscle to make a little pouch, this upsets and damages some of the nerves, usually temporarily. Take pain killers, use a pillow under your arm when in bed. roll your shoulders gently backwards and forwards a lot and shrug your shoulders, this helps to stop the shoulder from freezing. When your scar is heeled go to the swimming baths, you can do the breast stroke fine as long as you dont stretch your arms too much.
