Here's a weird one

This just started today and I had my BMX done 12/21. I think the interior end of one of my drains has migrated to my armpit and is poking out (not through the skin, just making a bump) at the front of my armpit. I've been trying to re-arrange it, as weird as that sounds, but it's persistent and keeps migrating back to poke me.

From the illustrations I have seen, I thought the interior end of the drain was supposed to be down a the base of my chest. I see my PS on Tuesday or Weds. I'm a little worried that the drain is working itself out of me.

Any thoughts or experience with this?

Thank you

    Hooefully you will see the PS today on Tuesday. I haven’t seen this complaint in the last 5 years I’ve been on here. But surely you are not the first.... Please let us know what you find ou

    Update: The end of the drain tube coiled and poked my under arm then moved back to my chest but was digging into my chest muscle. I started seeing dark red blood in the drain tube again. My plastic surgeon was able to see me yesterday and removed the drain.

    Now I am healing up. It is still super sore where the end was digging in but all will be well soon.
