Deep brain stimulator
I have a battery for my DBS in my chest/top of right breast. I have had it there for 2 1/2 years and still find it very uncomfortable. It causes an ache that goes into my right armpit. Has anyone else had this problem?

I don't have an implant, but they shouldn't cause that much discomfort.
If you haven't already, I suggest you speak with your GP, mainly to check there's no other health issue causing the ache. Ultimately, your Neurosurgeon would be the one to speak with about problems related to the implant.
