A few days ago I wrote about having feelings of pin stick and burning over my pacemaker and since it continued I call my pacemaker consultant and she, in turn had to call the manufacturer (Medtronic) because she had not had this complaint before. Medtronic told her that there is ONE stitch inside that holds the PM in place and it can get pulled, moved,etc causing these kind of pains. She said even though it it only one stitch it can cause quite a lot of pain. It should stop doing that after six months or so. I thought this might be of interest to anyone out there who might have had similar pain.
