Question My Buzzer Stutters

Okay, so y'all know I'm a few days post-implant and while I could call my Medtronic rep I really don't want to. I'd prefer to hear from y'all (seems odd I feel closer to some of y'all that I've not ever met than I do folks that I have met!).

Here's the scoop: As the Title says, my buzzer stutters. I can be completely motionless, feeling the buzzing along in my leg and it'll suddenly stop..then re-start, stop, re-start, etc. Sometimes when it re-starts it does so with a bit of a jolt - can be a little uncomfortable at times but usually it's just a start/stop thing with little or no jolt at all.

Is it possible, from what y'all have experienced and/or heard of along the way, that the normal post-op swelling is contributing to this and it will go away in time? Or is this the 'nature of the beast' and it happens to everyone? Or is there a possibility there's something wrong with the pulse-generator (PLEASE not that!) that was missed when they ran the full set of diags on it before they sewed me up?

What say ye all on this?

Thanks ahead of time...
