Question about pain

I had a pacemaker implanted on February 24 and am doing pretty well adjusting. I started having a strange pain last night and don't know if it is normal or not. It feels like an electric shock at the pacemaker site. It is quick and a very quick sharp pain. It has been happening repeatedly since early last evening and is starting to frighten me.

Has anyone else had this type of pain? Is it normal and I just need to wait it out?

Thanks.

Ant Bites

Does it feel like ant bites.....or a needle stick?

It really hurts but is very quick, like you said. That is part of the healing process. The nerves knitting back together. Not everyone feels it.....I did.

At first, I would actually look at my incision site because I thought an ant was biting me. lol

It should end within 9 months to a year.

Glad to hear you are doing well.

I'm glad to know I'm not crazy and that there are no bugs biting me. I also kept checking the wound to see if something was biting me. It's good to know I can ignore it as best I can.
