My dad has a feeling of wet feet after pacemaker surgery

Hi ,Still need some help my dad had a pacemaker put in Jan this year but has a terrible uncomfortable feeling of having a wet foot and a dragging feeling on his right leg. We have had numerous tests done with neurologists, angiogram ,stress tests etc and all showing okay. This is frustrating for him, and has changed his lifestyle from being amazingly active to not even being able to walk a small distance down his street.
Does anyone have any suggestions for wet feet feeling.

cheers

I have the feeling of wet feet and feeling like I have had boiling water poured on them.  Occasionally I get dragging feet.  The neurologist hasn't come up with an idea, I am suspected of having MS and I have heard some MS patients have this type of thing.

I she on any medications?  How about swelling of the leg, foot, and/or ankle?  

I have never read of such a problem here, and I have no personal experience, so I have nothing to point to.  You didn't mention his primary or family care doctor.  Has he discussed it there?  Sometimes we need a generalist when the specialists can't "connect the dots".

Wishing a happy outcome and you father getting back to a more active life, that is an important health aid.
