Pain around pacemaker site

I am new to this discussion. I sought out a group that could answer questions about pacemaker problems because I had a Medtronic PM put in April 26, 2023. Here it is Aug 29 and I am still having sharp pain and burning . the 1st PM was repositioned and leads in the heart moved 2 weeks ago. I feel better, no chest pain or feelings of fainting but this PM is awful. I'm tired of complaining because no one understands anyway.

Hello @1101 and welcome to the Heart Rhythm Condition support group on Mayo Clinic Connect. If I understand correctly, the pacemaker was originally inserted in April of this year and two weeks ago it was repositioned, and the leads were moved. Is that correct?

Is the pain still the same as it was prior to the procedure two weeks ago? What has your doctor suggested to help reduce the pain?
