My husband has had an icd for nearly 2 years. He has recently developed pain in his left arm which he thinks is muscle pain. This is worse when he bends his arm so he tries to keep it straight. Anyone know if this could be related to the icd?

Muscular Pain

There is a saying:"If if looks like a duck, flies like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is a duck". This certainly sounds muscular from your description. I don't think I would be looking elsewhere for an explanation. In any event, 2 years without such symptoms is a long time- this is reassuring.

if it is radiating pain he needs to get to the er. My brother held off with this almost too late. good luck, keep us posted.

As for my pacemaker (almost 7 years old) I like to think of it in the terms of the old Timex commercial - takes a licking and keeps on ticking.
