Too much pain after Breast implants

I just had Breast implants to correct a tubular deformity. Now I have a horrbile pain under my right breast along the rib cage. It is a sharp, searing pain whenever I move a certain way, and especially when riding in cars (going over bumps). Tylenol is not helping and it is getting worse by the day (it's been 5 days) there is no visible swelling or bruising. What could be causing this? What can I take for the pain? I need to resume work again next week and fear that 4 more days might just be worse!
