Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hi, i had an icd implanted 2 years ago in my left arm area. I am exercising daily for 1.5 year in the gym and i noticed that my left arm is almost half the size of the right one. And while the right one gets bigger by the time the left seems to be the same size as before. What can i do? Are there any exercises to cure that? Because its very annoying
usually a icd implant would NOT affect the size of the arm. i would suggest you have it check, its better if a surgeon would do a complete physical exam on you to assess you better. but for here, my answer stays.
