New box

Hi had a new box fitted Tuesday, the new box was larger and pocket had to be enlarged. When getting off bed I commented that my chest felt stretched. Two days later and Icant lay flat,back to hospital and the box on one side is so tight my skin is white where it is stretched. I am going back on 7th June for them to assess it, anyone else had this as I am slightly nervous

What you are experiencing is pretty normal. I had my 4th implanted about 7 months ago and the site is still a little uncomfortable. One of my leads is so old that they needed to install an adapter that takes-up more room. It is pretty normal to be sore for a couple months and a little uncomfortable for longer than that.

I finished 29th in London in 2 hours 20 minutes 30 seconds which is my fastest with or without a device so clearly it didn’t slow me down ! I had no problems apart from some slight chaffing on my scar - more Vaseline next time.
