burning pain

I am a 25 y/o female with Long QT Syndrome. I had an ICD implanted almost two weeks ago.  At first I had a lot of pain due to some difficulty the doctor had getting the device in.

Now, any time I move, I have this burning like pain about an inch below my incision.  It feels like someone is slicing me with a hot knife.

I have also had skipping heart beats since the surgery, is this normal? Thank you

I suggest you go to see your doctor or surgeon as soon as possible, because only they are qualified to decide what the problem is and the means to remedy it.
Pain after a procedure is normal in most circumstances, but yours may be different and have a genuine cause ,so please get qualified advice.

I just want to share about the quality of life after my pacemaker, and hopefully increase awareness that lifestyles do not have to be drastically modified just because we are pacemaker recipients.
