Extreme sharp pain after Breast Augmentation. Any suggestions?

moose1414
I had my BA done 5 days ago, sub muscular 415cc MP implants. Everything is healing great except for this extreme shooting burning pain I'm getting in my left breast near my sternum. The skin in the area feels somewhat numb, and this pain happens mostly when I'm on my feet walking around and is worse with the post op bra. It feels like the implant is pinching a nerve.. the pain gets excruciating sometimes to the point that I'm hunched over. How long usually till this goes away?
