Pain in left breast after carrying bag. Is it normal for one to heal slower than the other?

Asked By:Katie Means in Sydney, AU

I had my BA exactly 2 weeks ago today. I am experiencing pain in my left breast. It is swollen and hurts to touch around the side and bottom. My right breast is completely fine. No pain or swelling at all. Is it normal for one to heal slower than the other? The thing that worries me is the pain started after I carried my backpack to work. I am seeing the nurse on Friday for my checkup.
