Are muscle cramps in the chest normal after surgery?

Asked By:camcgore in Miami, FL

I had a breast augmentation surgery a week ago. My recovery has been fairly easy, however I am experience really sharp pains in my chest. If I try to massage the area at all, especially pushing from the outside of the breast in, the pain feels more like a muscular cramp.
