Hi:   Looking for some help.   One of my leads on my pacemaker (implant date 02/2015) has moved on top of the device and sticks out, (very visible), just below my collarbone.  Get sore and aches.  Saw my cardio elec. md yesterday and he says he can do a revision to bury the lead deeper in my muscle.  Has anyone else had this issue?   If so, did you have it corrected?   Did the revision work and last?   Any insight from a fellow pacemaker would be appreciated.

Thanks, Gloria
