Discomfort

Hi - I had mine implanted 4 weeks ago and it is still very uncomfortable.  I can't bear anything on top of it , even light material.  I have been placing a small soft cushion against it at night and this has helped.

Had a check up yesterday and was told it will eventually settle down.

So, I expect yours will settle down too given time, but you should have the chance to get it checked in a few weeks.

You know you're wired when...

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

But I think it will make me feel a lot better. My stamina to walk is already better, even right after surgery. They had me walk all around the floor before they would release me. I did so without being exhausted and winded the way I had been.
