Pain Post Cardiac Ablation

I had a cardiac ablation roughly four years ago and shortly after the procedure I started to have left chest pain. The doctor reassured me nothing was wrong, but it is becoming more frequent and more painful.  Has anyone experienced similar symptoms post cardiac ablation?
Thanks!

I had an ablation for VT & AF on 12th May. I have had chest pains too since then. Infact I find it very difficult to lie on my left side. Also the pain has started more since last month or so.

Have you had the pain for four years or am I mis-understanding what you are saying.  I don't think any pain which began shortly after a surgical or medical procedure and lasts so long should be ignored for any longer.  You should definitely go get it checked out.
