Should drain site be so uncomfortable?

Amber79260
I am 4 days post op from a mastiplexy/augmentation. Dr put drains in and due to the amount of fluid I have to wait till tomorrow to get drains removed. However, wherever the drain is is more painful than the my surgery site. Is this normal? Should the drain site be this incomfortable? I feel like I'm taking pain meds just for that!
