Chest pain with pacemaker
I had a pacemaker implanted 4 years ago. There are times I experience pain in my left chest. Sometimes it feels like a pulling. others like prickles. Since my operation for spinal stenosis, I'm using my left arm and hand more. I'm wondering if this has something to do with it.
My pacemaker is checked every six months and the reports are positive--no changes noted. I'd appreciate hearing other people's experiences with a pacemaker.

@jc76 I hear you. I wasn't planning on getting another dog so soon. Then my granddaughter encouraged me to get another one. I started looking. I thought I'd found the right dog. It matched all my criteria. The owner was giving him up because his son was violent and he was afraid the son would hurt the dog. He changed his mind 3 times. Then I started looking at rescue organizations. They didn't say it, but I was being refused because of my age. Then "Sleeping Beauty" came up and the ad said she would be perfect for a senior. Little Molly is the funniest little dog I've ever had. She "graduated" from Beginner's Puppy Class last Sunday. She's very loving and a challenge. All the best with your operations and your future "best friend." BTW did you have pet insurance? I'm debating whether or not to get it.

Yes had pet insurance. If you buy when your pet is young the cost is much lower as as the dog ages will have pre conditions health issues and when you try to sign up with known ailments will be much higher.
The insurance we went with required us to go to our vet and determine if any preconditions.
Our insurance had a $500.00 deductible but as he aged his VET costs were much higher than that and the VET hospital was over $5,000 of which we paid 80% and insurance covered the rest.
Hopefully we will be finding a best friend again soon.
