I had BA two and half weeks ago. I had 325 cc in left side, and 350 cc in right (slight asymmetry). My breasts have little pain at this point, but I began having pain in my ribs(right worse).

Is this normal???? I called the nurse line and she said it is normal, but that just doesn't make sense to me.
