Arm Pain after Breast Augmentation under arm scar? I am in week 4 post op and can barely stretch my arm, lots of pain.

Laurie1974
Doc says my tendons have attached to my scar tissue. He says I need to press really hard on them and force my arm to stretch as much as possible. The other arm is fine and I cannot find other posts on the Internet about this. When he pressed hard on the scar, he felt a pop and asked if it felt better. It hurt so bad I couldnot tell. Now I have pain still between the elbow and armpit and now between the elbow and wrist. Help? Is this normal?
