I have had two implants. After a year, you will forget it is there.
In the meantime…
Take it easy with exercising and stretching that area. Things are healing. Let it happen.
Stay alert for swelling, redness, or excessive warmth that could indicate an infection.
Good luck !

Excellent advice art43

The year seems to be the magic time for body to get used to it being there. The year time frame was what my EP said would take for me and my body to get used to having it.

I do have to sometimes remember it is there when I start doing things with my left arm and in and around electrical devices.
