Shoulder Pain/can't Move my Arm After Breast Augmentation?

j_vuong
I am 4 weeks post op. On my right shoulder, I started experiencing shoulder after first week. Where the pectoral muscles meets my shoulder/neck, it is extremely sore and has a sharp pain whenever I lift my arm. When I wake up every morning, my shoulder has so much pressure that I need help getting up and out of bed. My right breast is higher than my left. I've been taking Vicodin for the past 3 weeks just to endure the pain. When will this pain go away?
