Pain around the device

Hi, I am 14 weeks post op and have been fitted with a Medtronic defibrillator ( not a small device!) I have woken up today with pain around the device on the inside. There is no sign of bruising or anything to see on the outside, I have just felt tender all day. Apart from this my recovery has gone really well and my scar has healed nicely. Should I be concerned or is this normal?

 Thanks for taking the time to reply, that certainly put my mind at rest.

You know you're wired when...

You have a little piece of high-tech in your chest.
