I know some tightness and heaviness after BA is expected but mine feels so intense. I seem to get tight from any physical acitivity or frequent arm movements like typing at a desk all day. It gets almost unbearable towards the end of the work day, and makes it hard to breathe normally. Will it really take weeks or months to alleviate this? Will massage help the right muscle relax faster? I did not go very big, was a small B before and got 295cc HP round, under the muscle.
