Long term nerve damedge

Ever since i had my pacemaker fitted in june 2010, i have problems with pain in my left shoulder. Had to have a emergency op in 2012 to reimplant my pacemaker due to a severe infection. Recently i've been having stabing pains in my left shoulder like a red hot poker and my left hand goes numb and i can't pick things up!!!. Am very worried should i contact my cardiologist??!!

Get it checked out asap. Don't assume it's the pm. It could be, but don't rule out other causes. It would be odd for it to suddenly cause problems after so much time.
