Extreme stiffness/tightness 6 weeks post lipo. Is this normal? What can I do to relive it? Does this mean I have fluid build up?

Asked By:kk22 in Washington DC, DC

About 3 weeks ago I began to feel extreme stiffness/tightness in my back and sides. I'm 6 weeks post op of a BBL. What can I do to relieve this pain? Its so uncomfortable. I had my procedure done in Miami but I love in DC. The doctor's office told me to "send pics". How can I send pics of stiffness/soreness SMH. What can I do to relieve this pain. I've been getting about 2 massages a week, to no avail. Please give me some suggestions. I'm concerned about fluid build up but how can I be sure if I have it?
