Is "shear force" still dangerous after the first week?

I have a habit of adjusting my bandages all the time due to how tender my ribs are and the bruises around them. I always left them from my nipple and adjust a little higher or a little lower. Are they still at risk after the bolsters come off, to be nudged and pushed off? There is some Bleeding through the gauze this morning, and yesterday afternoon was when I got them off. I was told bleeding would be normal, but still, I have go wonder.
