It took me a year+ for the capsule to form around the ICD which is larger than a pacemaker. It took the year+ to feel like normal and comfortable once again.

Good information.
I am on my 3rd ICD/Pacemaker and have had one for almost 20 years now.
I learned about the capsulation of the pacemaker from my EP. So until that occurs discomfort will be there. I was told it would be about one year for the discomfort and feeling to become normal.
Not sure about normal though as can still feel it move or some irritation with exacterated arm movements.
