Breast augmentation done in July 2016. I noticed a large lump on my left breast on the outside closest to my arm. The lump is hard and came about recently. I saw a specialist who said it is not a cyst and will require more testing (mammogram, ultrasound). He said it is very rigid and I can basically grab it. Im wondering if this is capsular contracture? Can capsular contracture be in one large lump that is rigid and painful? The rest of the breast is soft and doesn't look out of shape.

Congratulations on your recent breast augmentation surgery. The results look pretty good so far. Stabbing pains are most often due to nerve stretch and you should see your plastic surgeon to confirm this diagnosis. Treatment with a gaba based prescription and vibratory massage helps. Best ...
Two months after breast surgery it is normal to have new scar tissue and nerve pain. If you are running and exercising remember to wear 2 sports bras! If the pain doesn't subside or gets worse I would definitely contact your board certified plastic surgeon before your next scheduled visit....
There should be no reason that you would need to take plan B because you should be in bed doing nothing. And no activity that would require plan B for a month. Anything else is compromising YOUR outcome. Make smart choices. This is real surgery. Treat it as such.
