Medtronic Pacemaker

by dfox801 - 2007-12-18 08:12:43

Hi! I am Danny from Penang, Malaysia. I had a
pacemaker implanted on 12th November, 2007. The area around the pacemaker is still a bit sore although it is already 36 days. My Cardiologist told me that only 90% is healed.Can anyone please tell me how long does it take to have the implant completely healed? Before my implantation, I could do a ten mins walk at normal walking speed but with the implant, by about 7 mins, I get an ache like rheumatism on both sides of my neck and shoulders. After completed the 10 min walk, the ache subsides with only a little that can be felt. Can anyone please tell me if they had this problem after 36 days of implantatiion. Please help.

Sincerely, Danny

My cardiologist is brilliant and after lots of trial and error got me running. I finished this years London Marathon in 3hrs 38 minutes.
