Gynocomastia surgery (post-op) What could be causing this sharp pain that I am experiencing?

dee_johnson
3.5 weeks from day of surgery (glands removed). About 1-2 weeks ago I started to notice a sharp pain between my left nipple and bottom of the rib cage. It is tender to the touch and I notice a sharp pain when I raise my left arm. I'm very pleased with results (incisions are healing great) and recovery seems to be going well just curious as to what is going on being the discomfort isn't near the incision. Without touching the described area or moving my left arm I am experiencing no pain overall.
