Shoulder pain

It has been 3 weeks tomorrow since I got me PM. I having been doing real good and feeling good. Well last night I did something stupid. I had something fall off the table and go under it. So I crawled under it to pick it up. On my way up I was trying to not put pressure on my left arm. Instead I moved my left shoulder wrong and got a shooting pain right by my PM. Today It hurts and feels really bruised. Been icing it all day. I am really hoping I didn't do any damage. Any signs to watch for. My HR has been good all day.

You are doing the right thing! It's highly unlikely you did any damage beyond bruising. The first sign something is wrong would be your hr going back to what it was without pacing. Ice and take it easy. If it's not better in a couple of days, or if you get any symptoms like you had before you got it, then have it checked out.

You know you're wired when...

You have a new body part.

I just want to share about the quality of life after my pacemaker, and hopefully increase awareness that lifestyles do not have to be drastically modified just because we are pacemaker recipients.
