What Causes Soreness Of Clavicle Bones Post Pacemaker Implant?
I have my second pacemaker never had a problem with the first one and had the second one implated for over a year now. Over the past 2 weeks I have a lot of tenderness where the lead wires goes up under my clavical bone. It aches all the time but is especially sore if I try to touch the skin near it.

Hello,
The pain in the clavicle bones is normal post peacemaker implant. It will relieve gradually. Meanwhile, I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
