Dull ache 6 weeks after augmentation?

September 5, 2015
Asked By:ten4zen in Memphis, TN

I had my breast augmentation on 7/16. My recovery was uneventful and healing has been smooth and problem free. This past week, I noted a dull ache in the right breast that comes and goes. It's not the "electricity" sensation I've experienced and attribute to nerves waking up. It feels like the dull ache is coming from deep in the breast. It's firm, but no more so than the other. I massage daily. There is also soreness around the shoulder blade. Is this a strained muscle or a cause for concern?
