Perhaps there is a secondary cause.
Is there any chance of infection? @celica this is not normal 10 days out. Please call the surgeons office and ask to be seen. Yes there is a chance that there is a reasonable explanation, but you should not be suffering no matter what. Is there redness or heat near the site?

As I have had a unilateral mastectomy I cannot speak to any aftercare if lumpectomy BUT it certainly sounds concerning that you would be in this much pain. After a mastectomy I was able to be relatively comfortable with prescription grade Tylenol or Advil by day two!
Please check back with your surgical team regarding your symptoms and if it were me I would insist on being seen in person so the area can be fully examined.
Best wishes to you for some relief and healing. 🌸
