Muscle pain When Walking?

Thank you for this group and thanks for those of you who offer your advice and wisdom.I had a PM put in two months ago.  I am healing well and my concerns issues have been addressed adequately by my doctor and a lot of the posters on this site.  Here is my concern and I am wondering if anyone has had this experience and does anyone think it is Pacemaker related??

   I have noticed that when I walk  for any length of time my back muscles around and below my neck and between my shoulder blades tense up so severely it is painful. Sometimes I feel discomfort in my lower jaw  Last night we walked on uneven sidewalks for about three blocks and  after one block i my upper back was so very painful.  As soon as I got into the car and relaxed it all went away.  I find this happens also on the treadmill.  I have focused on proper body alignment , keeping my head above my shoulders and trying to breathe through the pain and relax sometimes it works but sometimes not.  Any thoughts or any one experience this?

Neck and shoulder pain, me too!

I also experience pain along the sides of my neck and my shoulders after I have walked a bit. I now carry a lightweight bag to lessen  the discomfort but it only slightly alleviates it.  I'll ask my EP about it at my checkup next week. My implant is a dual chamber, June 2016. 

Thank you "Heartfelt"
