Can I pull or strain a muscle in my breast by lifting my 4 year old 25 days after my breast augmentation surgery?

July 13, 2014
Asked By:Jadakiss in Windsor, ON

It's 25 day post-op breast augmentation under muscle & my rt breast has had pain, on and off for over the last week or so. The pain has recently moved to my back under my right shoulder blade. Today, in a quick reflex I picked up my 4 year old and sat her on my right hip, I quickly put her down when I felt the pain. Now I have more pain in my r breast and back then ever before,(even with taking Advil). Did I pull or strain my muscle in my breast or should I worry about capsular contracture?
