New PM

First I would like to thank everyone for your help and support pre PM I was reallly scared.
I had my PM implanted last Wednesday the surgery went ok, but it has been a week and I still have alot of pain I understand my left shoulder chest area, but in the middle of my chest and in my RIGHT arm not sure what that is about even typing this it is very tired and sore I tried to go back to work yesterday and had to come home as I am a case worker and do 98% of my work with the computer after 4 hours I couldn't stand it any more.
Other than that everything went better than I had imagined, still waiting for that new found energy they said I would have. :)

Nope the 1st

Nope this is my first PM and yes I was really really scared to get it put it and a little nervous about every little thing I feel now I am 42, but a big chicken when it comes to stuff like this.
I am going to my first Dr.'s appointment on Friday and will be grilling him about everything that is going on I can understand the pain in my left shoulder & arm, but not the right or the pain in the middle of my chest.

Oops! I read your name wrong!

Hi Pacergirl,
I'm sorry to hear about your pain & discomfort. It sounds like you need to take more time off to rest and relax. I can't imagine what's causing the pain in your right arm, other than a nerve that's being pinched perhaps? My first thought was the anesthesia, but I'd call the doctor to have them check it out.
I'm a little confused about your post, saying you were really scared...haven't you had a PM for a while now?
Best wishes with your recovery!!
Teresa
