Pain

Since implant Sept 08, can't distinquish if I have more energy or not.What my problem is the surgery area, namely the raised device. I am predominately "left-handed" and the unit is practically up against my shoulder bone. This area is always sore. Last 2 nights the pain wakens me after I attempt to turn to another position. Is anyone else experiencing this? I'ts been 7 months since implant. Will the unit settle into my chest cavaity? I'm only 5'8 at 168 lbs. Thanks.....Chuck

Go ask to have the implant revised. At that time you can also ask about sub-pectoral implantation which will require a different technique. I have had this type of implant for over 10 years and prefer it substantially with respect to the typical approaches.

Don't take "no" from your doctors when you are dissatisfied.

Hi Chuck
My husband has his pacemaker since jan 08 and his is still sore and other conditions you have please let me know

The mortgage on your device is more than your house.

A properly implanted and adjusted pacemaker will not even be noticeable after you get over the surgery.
