I had a pacemaker inserted yesterday around 1300. I had a pressure dressing on when they discharged me today. I removed the pressure dressing as directed around 1600 today. All was fine until tonight when I noted some oozing of new bood under the steri strips. I also noted more swelling and some new bruising around the incision site. I have done the icing every couple hours and have not over used my arm. I did take ibuprofen though I was directed that I could do so if Tylenol plain did not help the pain.
Is this normal?
