Burning, pulling sensation at incision T site? (photo)

Jennay1974
On extended tummy tuck that left me with capital I shape incisions. Lower half feels good, just with a little swelling. The top half of my stomach pulls a lot and the upper "T" where the vertical incision and horizontal incision meets pullst, to the point where I still can't stand up straight (3 weeks po today) or take a really deep breath. There is also a couple of lumps along the incision. Is it just scar tissue tightening up? What can I do to loosen this up so I can finally stand up straight?
