I had my pacemaker fitted and developed a sort of pericarditis from the leads. The pain was excruciating. I spent 3 days in high care.   I have just got home and still feeling pain from the inflammation.   Just want to heal so I can get back in my horse.   Has anybody experienced this?

So sorry you are dealing with this! If you do a search (at the top right), there are other members who have had pericarditis. It is painful and can take a few months to get back to feeling good, but full recovery will happen.

Yesterday was my first day mountain biking after my implant. I wiped out several times and everything is fine. There are sports after pacemakers!
