I'm 5 days post OP sub muscular breast augmentation. The past 4 days I've been having intermittent sharp pains under my right armpit (serratus anterior?) which radiates along the lateral side of my right breast. The pain comes on when I move, but with no movements in particular. The sharp pain usually lasts for several mins and isnt really alleviated by anything. When I palpate the area, the pain's reproducible, but not as severe. It hasnt improved over the past 4 days. What could be the cause?
