Monitor for any heat or swelling in the area. Seroma (a collection of fluid) or infection can present as weirdo sensations. Nerve damage is also a possibility.
Keep an eye on it and make sure you mention this to pretty much every member of your medical team you have a conversation with. If anything changes for the worse, or there is no improvement, contact your surgeon and/or your GP or breast care nurse. Don't 'wait and see', this shit can escalate quickly.
Don't muck about with anything that feels wrong--if it's nothing to worry about you wouldn't be worried. Peace of mind is gold.
