How long should I expect the incision under my breast to be sore?

Sarahash
How long can I expect the incisions (under breast) to be sore? My dominate is pretty sore but no swelling, redness, or heat coming from it. I was given Gabapentin but DO NOT want to take that anymore. I know I can take Tylenol but anything else I can do to help maybe alleviate that? 1 week post op. Also don't want to take the 4000 mg per day of Tylenol she said I can take. My stomach wasn't handling that very well! Thanks!
