I just had a pacemaker and defib put in on March 6, I had 3 leads put in my last pacemaker/defib and 3 leads were put in July 2009. My questions to others out there:  did you have more pain second time around? The surgery was really painful this time last time.  I didn’t remember this much pain, it hurts to move my neck and left arm.  I was in hospital overnite but didn’t have much pain.  I was just sitting tonight and the pain has been really bad; they told me to put ice on it, which I have, but it really hasn’t taken any of the pain away.  Pain pills are not helping.  I thought the second time around would be easier, I guess I was wrong.
