Nerve pain after ICD repositioning nerve block.

[Eastwood25]

Hi everyone, i had my icd repositioned under the muscle, via sedation and a nerve block Friday. Has anyone else had this done, as im 4 days in and still have alot of pain in my arm and shoulder feels like nerve pain which im assuming is from the injections as didnt have this ist time around, pain killers help but not completely just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and for how long? Many tha nks. X

Hi, its best to ring your cardiology ward where you had your icd op. Let them know whats going on. My sister could ring them any time after her icd fitted, they will know whats up.

Hi, thank you for your reply. That was my next step although i think they might get fed up with me lol. Fortunately i had a home visit from the Heart Failure nurse yesterday who didn’t seem concerned thinks its all to do with the nerve block, yhe gp has prescribed me stronger pain killers, stitches out today so ill get the nurse to re check. Thanks again for taking the time to reply. Xx

Hi

Oh that is reassuring to get it checked. Good timing. Thanks for letting me know and hope it eases soon.
