A member asked:
I had a pacemaker implant on 5 nov 2019. the incision has healed but inside around the area is very tender & swollen in parts. sometimes i experience a stinging/burning sensation. just wanted to know how long it should take to heal & if this is norma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Healing: Unless there is associated and spreading redness, increased swelling or discharge from the area, I would give it more time for complete resolution of swelling or irritation. If you still have concerns. consult the physician who inserted the pacemaker for evaluation and advice.
