Painful incision 1 week after breast augmentation. Is it normal?

jomin
My BA was on 05/22/14. My right incision (my active arm) is healing well and have no pain, but the left one is so painful, I always am aware of it. When I have prolong period of standing, the pain is worse and I can feel the pain go all the way down to my left upper stomach area. When I move my left arm, it hurts more, I can even feel it as I type this question. Is it normal? The site is covered in a white small tape, I can't see it, but it does not look red or swollen. Thank you for your answer!
