I'm not sure what this represents, but I would recommend that you speak with your surgeon's office and let them know.

As the body recuperates and adjusts to changesfollowing breast augmentation, some patients may experience temporarydiscomfort in other areas of the body.   In the majority of cases, painexperienced after the first few day of surgery is temporary and not indicativeof a complication but should still be reported to your physician who can bestaddress the matter and provide medical advice in a safe and timely mannerduring your post-operative healing period.

this is not common after surgery, you need o check with your surgeon to see if anesthesia or any medication use during or after surgery or anything related to your surgery caused this. Good luck!
