Basketball & Swelling Around PM

I've had my Medtronic dual-lead PM for 7 months and just noticed what appears to be swelling around it. I've always been able to palpate the edges of the device at the top but now I seem to be able to feel the entire thing and then some! It is not hot or red. The site itches but that's not really something new.

I have also been experiencing a radiating tingly sensation around the PM periodically for the past few weeks. It actually feels good! but now that I've got some inflammation, the sensation reminds me of my knee which had to be drained it was so swollen a couple years ago.

I played some basketball (more like tried to make a few baskets!) two days in a row this week for a total of around 1.5 hours. Could this be responsible? And I was in Colorado (my new favorite state!) and had difficulty (at 6,000 feet) climbing stairs but I can't imagine altitude having anything to do with it.

What do you thinkg???
