can't stand up straight

I am three weeks post op and I cannot stand up completely straight. I feel like something is pulling between my breasts when I do so I walk a little hunched over. Has anyone else experienced this for this long? And when will it go away?

Not me...I'd call the doctor...sounds strange.

Where is your port? Mine is under my right breast, and that muscle will sometimes be sore if I pull the wrong way or reach too far or something, but I'd definitely call the Dr. if you can't even stand up straight.

Maybe I shouldn't say "can't" because I can straighten up like if I lay on the floor or something. However, it does pull a little...I just feel tight. But when I am walking it is hard to make myself stand up straight because of the pulling.
