new problem

I have had my PM for almost 3 yrs...for 3rd degree heart block. I have started to have pain over the sight where the PM is on my chest. Any ideas what might be causing this?

What kind of pain?

Tinging, dull or what?
Could be scar tissue build up?

hmm

Have you been doing anything new? I suddenly started getting pain in my pm area after we got the Wii and I spent a bit too much time trying to best the kids. Similar problems when starting a new exercise routine. Each time it should have been obvious but I sat around stumped a few days, wondering why it suddenly hurt.

If you have any redness, swelling, streaking, oozing, get it looked at. It's very rare to get infected after so long, but not unheard of. Odds are it's muscle or scar tissue getting irritated.

You know you're wired when...

You prefer rechargeable batteries.
