Hi, it’s only been 1 week, how long before I can sleep , I can only lie on right side and constantly woke up by pain in the left shoulder area and around the wound. I’m not expecting miracle healing just some sort of time frame for the healing wound Thanks

I had to be careful for about a week, but only needed the occasional painkiller for 2 or 3 days. If it continues, contact the pacemaker clinic.
