I took a couple older bras, cut the strap where it attaches to the cup and moved it over an inch or so, hand sewed it to the cup closer to the armpit. It kept the strap off the pacemaker while things healed.

I simply wore the bra strap on my affected side under my arm and wore loose, none-translucent tops. Yeah, I was a little uneven, but otherwise the pain was intolerable.

After about 2 months, the swelling went down enough that I could tolerate the strap worn  near the top of my shoulder.
