Shock feeling between 3rd and 4th rib

Hi I'm in my 4th pacemaker I had it put in last June and since it has been in I've been getting a shocking like feeling between my 3rd and 4th rib and the hospital doesn't know what's causing. Had anyone else had anything like this if so how was it resolved? 

Thanks Greg

3-4th rib pain

Did get pronounced muscle twitch ( shock like sensation) in that area due to my PM being on unipolar return current. Changed to bipolar setting and twitch vanished as soon as setting changed. 

May help?

Have they checked the leads/ insulation for fractures? 

I get little shock-like sensations quite often but one of my leads is partially unipolar after a lead revision.
