Do these sound like symptoms of capsular contracture?

Asked By:jemmah in Sydney, AU

I am four and a half months post op. Immediately after my surgery my right has had discomfort, left healed without much pain. Right has been more numb. When i drive and use right arm i feel discomfort along the bottom or side of breast and sometimes discomfort under arm. Its not terrible pain just annoying. When i sleep or dont use arm there is no discomfort. I had 3 month check up and dr was not concerned with breasts. Does this sound muscular/ nerve issues or like cc? i have 360 cc unders.
