Sharp Pain in Breasts One Month After Breast Augmentation?

NYU2014
It has been one month since my submuscular breast augmentation. I had 360cc in my left implant and 340cc in my right. I have recently had an increase in the pain in both breasts. The best way for me to describe it is "sharp." Sometimes when I move my arms I feel an electrical-like pain move from the top of my breasts to the bottom. It is most noticeable when I'm laying slightly on my left side and move my right arm over my right breast at which point I feel a twinge or spasm. Is this normal?
