Is tingling & radiating arm, bicep pain normal 6 weeks post op w no previous pain/numbness after Breast Augmentation?

April 27, 2015
Asked By:bhathaway in Chicago, IL

I am 6 weeks post op from BA-400CC HP under muscle. No pain/numbness ever & easy recovery. I have done more lifting of my 36# son in the last week. My left breast has given me just some discomfort/ pain by end of day, I realize probably from doing too much. It's slightly larger & tighter than right. In last few days I've noticed some tingling sensations in left arm. Today it's been consistent & mostly in bicep area but also going all the way down to fingers - haven't lifted today ...thank you
