Pacemaker replacement

Had replacement 1 week ago and I thought it was very painful. Only got five percodan for pain and needed twice as much.

Pain

Yup.  I was on extra strength Tylenol for several weeks.  It did help some and I weaned off after 8 weeks.  Nonetheless, we all have different situations so highly recommend contacting your doctor because pain can be the result of lots of different circumstances.

Ice was helpful

I had my pacemaker put in on June 20th. They put it deep into my muscle so I was in a lot on pain. I found great relief with ice. I used it most of the night so I could get much needed rest. During the day, I found that I used an ice pack a good part of the day. I tried not to take much pain medicine, but found Tylenol and ice did the trick. Good luck and it does get easier!❤️
