cold

Hey everyone (:
I live in Winnipeg also known as Winterpeg LOL.  I went out for a walk a couple days ago and it was very cold; the area were my device is was quite sore and when I came inside I could still feel a bit of pain.  My question is can the cold weather bother my device? or was it just the regular pain I normally get?

Anyways, thanks for reading & your comments back (:

If it is bitterly cold in winter the metal in my PM makes me ache in that area including my shoulder.

I have a strip of old fashioned flannel (Like a scarf)that I put over my shoulder and down over my pm site and correspondengly on my back/shoulder next to my skin and underneath my undershirt. Helps to keep the area and the pm site warm. Hope this helps
