What could lead to left arm pain after putting a pacemaker?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Arm pain: This can be from your heart and referred to your arm or it can be a primary problem with your shoulder or arm. Start with discussing it with your cardiologist and if they say its not your heart i would recommend seeing an orthopedist.
