Pinching Pain in my Left Breast 7 Months After Augmentatinon?

Hello, I had a breast augmentation surgery 7 months ago but my left breast still hurst above the areola area. It feels like a something pinches inside. There is also a tiny bump in the same area like a different texture underneath the skin. It hurst when I touch it and the nipple is really sensitive. I had a mammogram and an ultrasound exam, but the doctor told me they didn't find anything abnormal. However, the pain is still there. I read it could be a torn muscle. Can it be the case? Thanks!!!
