Random shooting pain after breast augmentation on right breast 3 weeks post up (smooth, classic, 400cc). Advice?

dalou3a
i shared with my surgeon my experience with shooting pain, which happens occasionally about once a day and it lasts for few seconds but very painful and self limiting. my surgeon suggested i go to office to get a xylocaine injection to help with the pain. i consulted a second ps for a 2nd opinion, he suggested waiting on the injection, and he suggested an anti-inflammatory motrin and robaxin- muscle relaxer and to wait a little. i'm lost and depressed and not sure what to do. please advice.
