My pacemaker was put in 7/1/14. This was totally a surprise. Went to the Dr. Cause of passing out and was rushed into surgery. Where the pacemaker and I have come to terms with each other and the need for each I was left with a very painful upper left arm and shoulder. I've been told I put up a battle during surgery and had to be heavily sedated. Dr. Says this will pass, but it has just progressed. I'm to the point of demanding an X-ray even though everyone says it will pass. The pocket was difficult to install because of my double mastectomy without reconstruction I was told. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Thank You!
