Can Blood Clot After Having Pacemaker Cause Pain In Shoulder?
My husband had a pacemaker put in 4days ago. After the first day he experienced neck & shoulder pain while at the hospital, by the 3rd day pain was unbearable so the surgeon put in on Pecocet. My question is, how long typically will pain last and could it be due to a blood clot?
