Pain in the shoulder

Hi ya'll! I'm new at this site.I had my pacemaker installed about three months ago. I am experiencing some pain in my left shoulder area for the last few days. When I take a hot shower and take Tylenol and apply Biofreeze, it seems to go away for a few hours. Other than this new development I am feeling OK. Has anyone experienced these symptoms? I do not have a fever and feel fine otherwise. How concerned should I be? Thanks for your input!

My left arm and shoulder were a problem for a while after my implant surgery. I found a good licensed masseuse. She got it loosened up. You might try massage.

For me I  used an acpuncturist to loosen up the scar tissue.  You problably were afraid to use your left arm.  Causing your shoulder to freeze.  Gently moving it should help.

I truly appreciate you all taking the time to share with me your insights into my condition. It is very comforting to know that I am not walking "alone" and I can reach out to others who have experienced what I am going through and who can help me navigate my thoughts and emotions! God bless you!

You have the perfect reason to show off your chest.

I've seen many posts about people being concerned about exercise after having a device so thought I would let you know that yesterday I raced my first marathon since having my pacemaker fitted in fall 2004.
