Pain in the implant area

I have a sailboat. Working on the boat to prepare it for sailing, I have more extreme movements, heavier than normal demand to lift, tighten, and wax. Will this type of physical activity cause pain in the area of the implant, my collar bone area, and front of my neck above the implant?
Just attempting to determine what might be normal, or should be cause for concern.

Tom,
the answer is yes, the result of the surgery will cause some pain. This will diminish as your body heals.
If you allow the healing to take place without straining the wound too much, the pain will reduce more quickly.

Treat it like any other injury to your shoulder, and give it time to recover.
Best wishes,
Johng
