Good morning uncomfortable feeling after crt-d implanted 5 weeks ago

Sorry guys and gals

I'm back with another yes another daily worry, so after my crt-d was implanted I noticed maybe a couple of weeks ago that under my left arm pit and sort of on the edge of armpit and left pec it feels uncomfortable, has anyone else had anything like the same?

I wasn't sure if it's where I've been very very cautious about using my left arm and now I've started to use it albeit very minimally, there doesn't seem to be any swelling looks very much the same as the right side there's no unusual heat as if there was an infection or inflammation but I can't remember if I had the same when I had my first icd put in as I was also dealing with the uncomfortableness and pain from my open heart surgery I had 2 weeks prior so sorry if this is a silly question

Many thanks

Dan

My Dear Dan33ynwa

So sorry that you are still experiencing some discomfort from your CRT-D fitting, and even more sorry that I cannot help as Im waiting results to see if I need one.

This is the main reason Im answering your post the other reason is to say that it is perfectly normal to ask away questions having gone through what you have.

I know by other posts that you are on the worrying side of life and again there is nothing at all wrong with that.

I am your secret stalker {well not so secret now} as answers to your questions will be a massive help to me later, if thats the way they decide to go.

Take care
