Did I raise my arms too soon after breast augmentation?

I got 500cc silicone implants six days ago. They were placed under the muscle and the cut is under the breast. Well today I quickly, without thinking, raised my left arm up and over my head to reach for something. I felt my pec flex a lot and it hurt. Now my arm pit is sore. Both boobs still look and feel the same. I'm terrified of getting capsular contracture or messing something up. Should I be concerned? Did I raise my arm too soon? Should I go see my doc? Could I have shifted anything?
