Post ICD Implant-week 2

[CamomilleTea]

Hi all,

I was hoping to get some feedback/advice from ideally ladies who have undergone ICD implant surgery.

Today marks two weeks from getting an ICD. It is placed under the muscle and towards my armpit, over my left breast. I have been slowly building up some movement and a walking routine back into my life this past week, as my body allowed it. The scar is looking as well as it could, had no complications there, but it's rubbing off on clothes.

As the weather is absolutely miserable, my only choice is to go on a treadmill at the gym at the moment. However, I haven't got a sports bra that would help with the situation, and going without is not really an option.

What have you tried and what would you recommend?

Grateful for your help!

Hi I wore a sports bra but it didn’t help much, so I ended up putting cotton pads under my bra strap. Even wrapping a flannel round my strap helped. I had mine done in the winter also.
