pain and achiness behind PM

My PM is implanted in the upper portion of my left breast. Lately I've been having some pain behind the PM, or underneath - basically between the PM and the ribcage.
Implantation was 4 months ago.
I've also had itchiness and burning/tingling at the site, mainly the scar and above (where I can feel the wires).
Anything I should worry about? Or just more "new normal" stuff?

Pain and achiness

Hi M, I dont get the pain behind the pm now but I did for the first few months, I think it came from laying on it when sleeping, sort of crushing it sideways if you know what I mean. I still itch every now and then at the scar site. This probably varies depending on the shirt Im wearing. Im about 10 months now. I can feel the wires and sort of knobbly bits, Iv got used to it a bit now and don't prod about like i did. Bit hard not to when you have a foreign object in your body, har har. I have a St Jude Pacer 5366 for sss , bradicardia and atrial fib.I dont take any meds at all. Im still fit and healthy ride my bike every day when home on leave from working at sea, I dont drink or smoke.and im 51. So alls well this end lol.
hope this helps a bit, take care and all the best.
Ian.
