Is there more going on than just zingers in my incision site?

Icing doesn't help much and the nurse prescribed me Valium which isn't helping either. Even before having my stitches removed, I thought maybe I had popped a stitch in the left breast because it had bothered me for a few days and the nurse had trouble removing them from that side.
