1st DR appt after surgery

So today I go back for my first device checkup after 2 weeks. The crazy thing is the incision strips just came off today and the incision looks good, however, the area seems more swollen today then it has the last 2 weeks. Any reason why it would be more swollen?? Hopefully it is a good checkup.. I do have to say that I love this site:)

I had my first appt yesterday after 10 days. My incision strips are still all in tact but have become so freaking itchy! I almost want to tear them off and clean the area really well but I was told to let them fall on their own. It's so irritating. :/
You can ask your Dr I'm sure everything is probably ok and it's just a part of the healing process.

Yeah I plan on asking the DR about it. I also believe i am getting xrays taken as well, so that will be nice. Yeah my area is quite itchy as well. But trying not to itch it..

Well

So the appointment went well however, she had to change the alititude of my LV lead. The weird thing is I feel worse now and she just lowered it. Do I give it time to get adjusted to it or do I call her back. I am at 2.5 % and it seems like the pain has gotten worse. Need Help please!!!!
