Hi I had a bruise but just after a week of implant. and is gone by now, does it your stick out a lot? that I think could cause you to hit it or rub it without noticing?

Get checked out

If you didn't somehow bump the area, that is not normal 2 years later.

Joseph,
Did you ever find out what was causing the bruise at your pacemaker site? I have had the same bruising of the pacemaker area 20 months after implant.

Joseph,

i just noticed after 7 years I have bruise to the left of my PM pocket near my left shoulder. Wondering if I slept crooked. I'm 62, used to be in great shape til mono hit me 2 years ago. Wondering if muscle deterioration has something to do with it. Bruise still hurts when I massage it. Will respond again if I get answer.
