What is this weird pain after gynecomastia surgery?

I had gynecomastia surgery about two weeks ago with gland removed and a little bit of lipo but not much. however i had no pain after the surgery. However, lately I have this pain when i take a deep breath or if i move my left arm a certain way. The pain feels like they accidentally left a piece of metal in my skin. It is a stabbing pain followed by a burning sensation. Is this nerve damage and will it go away or should i be worried that there is a piece of metal in there?
