Hello just curious about this pain in my left side closer to my arm pit area then my top ribs. Kind of tender to touch but not extreme pain. Sometimes hurts little more when I take a deep breathe. Not sure if it’s normal or I should call my surgeon before my one month follow up. No obvious Bruising, one boob is higher then other but seems normal. 19 days post Op
