Constant ache in shoulder and breast.

Hello,
I am 76 years of age and had a PM implant March,2014. For almost a year I suffered with a constant ache and pain through my left breast and shoulder- no medical reason was determined. And then the AHA moment came while I was cleaning up a spill. While I was bent over I discovered it was the weight of my breast that was pulling on the muscles in my chest and what I needed was much better support when I was upright...
New bra's solved the problem! Well fitted and good support!
PS: make sure the strap adjustments do not press on the pacemaker.

The perils of boobies

Yep, I know the feeling! When I first had my PM inserted in Nov '15, being rather amply endowed I found that when I stood up when bra-less the ache was almost unbearable, so for the first week or so I wore a very soft bra top in bed, which really helped. Now it's not to bad, but I do still occasionally feel it first thing in the morning.

You know you're wired when...

You can feel your fingers and toes again.
