Hello, I had a breast augmentation 1 week and 5 days ago. I had the dual plan technique done. On about day 8 when moving around I put my arm into a position that kind of felt like I pulled a muscle momentarily or something. Now I am getting these sharp kind of tight muscle pains at the top of my implant right near my under arm. The pain is not constant it only occurs when I move the arm a certain way and also in the morning when I start moving it seems to happen. Is this a pulled muscle or something else?
