What is normal for post op pain? 3 days post BA surgery (silicone under the muscle).

Clever cat
It’s quite painful to move my arms and my right breast and armpit has a lot of burning sensation. The pec muscles feel very sore and tight. I’m presuming this is normal, but have read other people are much more comfortable by day 3. No redness or swelling or anything, just very painful. I wasn’t expecting the pain to get worse before better.
