muscle twitching

Hi Friends,

I had an icd surgery 3 months ago. For two weeks i an having muscle twitching on the icd area. Not painy but bothers. when i thouch over the icd scar i feel a little point. hope it is not a broken lead. I am scared of this too much. 3 weeks ago i went to doctor he said all ok but now i called him again twitching if this keeps a few days more i have to go him. Wishing for no broken leads.

All the best.

Kind regards,
