I stretched my arms above head, felt sharp pain in nipple. What could it be?

Asked By:QueenB29 in Lafayette, LA

I am a little over 2 weeks post op, everything is going great but this morning I stretched my arms above my head while waking up without realizing it. I felt a very sharp pain in my left nipple. It went away after a few seconds but scared me. I called my ps and he said to take it easy and see how today goes. Just wondering what kind of damage that can cause. Or could it just have been from stretching the nerve? Because my nipples have been raw and overly sensitive for the past week.
