When does pain and muscle stiffness subside after pacemaker surgery

Posted by diab @diab, Dec 10, 2025

Help! It’s been 24 hours after my 3 wire pacemaker defibrillator under the skin surgery and the pain and stiffness still seem very strong, when does it subsides??

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Pacemaker & ICDs Support Group.

My pacemaker surgery was done with a healthy dose of Versaid and fentanyl. honestly, the worst thing was leading up to the surgery. I was a nervous wreck and maybe a slight pinch when the lidocaine was administered. But nothing more than a bee sting.
