Hi
The permanent insertion of the pacemaker is a small surgical procedure requirimg incision then resuturing
During which many nerve endingss get involved.
This keep on firing pain, irritation on and off, , with the area supplied by the nerve showing pain and numbness
Not to worry. Local application of pain relieving gel will help alot.
Take care
