WOW! Yes! Me too! This describes how mine feels. My surgery was October 8, 2020. Still hurts, and just recently the last few days the pain seems worse and there's a burn/sting sensation. OKAY, so I will call my dr tomorrow. I am "just now" new to this conversation, so maybe I commented on the wrong post. All I know is that I have a pacemaker that was installed October 2020. And this conversation seems to describe the pain I'm experiencing. Will do an upload on my medtronic device that's near my bed, and plan to call my Dr in the morning first thing. This scares me!

Hi Deb, sorry to hear you are suffering the same side affects as me. Last night the feeling of being pricked by pins was the worse yet, not to mention my legs from the knee down to me feet felt as if they were on fire so I got up and ran around the garden a few times and felt better. When I got up this morning and gave a long yawn I got the strange pain in my chest again. The pain etc doesn't really worry so much as the restrictions on my daily life. I miss wrestling with my dogs on the lawn and going swimming, I know we are allowed to do the breast stroke but I need to do the crawl to feel myself powering along the pool. Oh yes and my tectonic device doesn't seem to work, I have been told they will call me in 4 weeks time. Just had a thought: When in the Army out training with my soldiers one of my Sgts stopped running and sat down gasping,, "Sgt are you in pain " I barked at him " Yes sir he replied" I said " If You feel pain that's good, Its shows your alive, get moving" good days,
Keep safe Deb and smile.
