Chest Tightness and Pain 2 Weeks Post-op

East Peoria
Even wearing a top makes my skin feel uncomfortable. I also have shooting pin like pains at times and my breasts are still very swollen. I have been to see the doctor and they have just put me on an anti-biotic. Are these symptoms normal? I'm just wondering how long it will take for me to get back to feeling like myself? I am going back to work next week and if I still feel this bad I don't know how I am going to do it.
