Asked By:heia in Thailand, TH

Today is day 5 after BA, mentor teardrop 315cc. I started experiencing sharp pain on the left side of my underarm whenever i lay flat on the bed. When upright, the soreness on both underarms were minimal and bearable. I dare not massage but the side felt tender. I also started having tingling, soreness around my breasts. Should i be worried?
