Have you ever had a back injury? Sounds like the sciatic nerve.

When my pm kicks in in my lower chamber(a have a dual chamber pm), I always get a type of weird tingling, pulsing, hiccup feeling in my throat. I was told by my pm doctor that it was normal to feel that when it goes off, and he was actually able to recreate the feeling by kicking on my pm electronically! I can't explain feeling it in your leg, but I do know you can have off sensations when it's working

You know you're wired when...

You know the difference between hardware and software.

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