Can Breast Implants Cause a Muscle Tear?

trac71
I just had under the muscle silicone 325cc's implants about 2 weeks ago. My left breast has always been more sore, swollen, and somewhat painful. I just noticed the pain getting worse, to the point to sneeze, breathe hard, move wrong way, or bend over causes "scream out loud" pain. I also noticed last night under the breast when I outstretch my arm something protruding out...like a muscle or tendon. Is this somethind to worry about? Dr. said to come in Tues and didn't seem concerned at all??
