I had a pacemaker implanted last month. I was aware of the doctor putting the pacemaker in me. He was pushing very hard on the site. I heard him say he had to try to get most the blood out of the pocket so the pacemaker wouldn’t be floating in there. I was at a teaching hospital so I’m sure my doctor was training others. I am on Eliquis so there was a lot of bleeding. My shoulder was very sore for a week after. Perhaps placing your pacemaker aggravated your arthritis?
I wish you well and agree about patience. God's blessing.
