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.

All true and thank you jc76. There are arm stretches and many yoga poses that I just can't do with the ICD installed. The machine was installed to hopefully save my life if my ventricular rhythm goes hay wire. Remembering this simple fact, has motivated me to adapt and modify the motions that would otherwise cause me discomfort.
