I have had a successful pacemaker placement earlier this year and am feeling a whole lot better heart-wise.
Was wondering if anyone has had any issues of their left shoulder? as I have been advised that the pain and stiffness I am experiencing could be a result of the operation disturbing the muscles.
Any input greatly appreciated.

I've had my pacemaker flor 4 years now and I still get aches and pains from its location. I guess a foreign body instu is going to always cause some discomfort. I'm aware of the symptoms however I don't dwell on it as I have to live with it forever. I'm pacemaker dependent.
Many thanks for your reply Barry - I followed up at my GP this am, as I am not sleeping due to level of discomfort in my shoulder and back - having further tests, as it may not be due to pacemaker after all...
Like you, I know my pacemaker has and is having a huge benefit to my quality of life too :)) I am really thankful it is there....
Kind regards, and wishing you compliments of the season.
