Does massaging breasts make them sore initially?

Asked By:Teachermama in Redlands, CA

Hi I am 15 days post op and had my 2 week follow up yesterday. Dr wants me to begin massaging 3x/day. Since doing so, my breasts are more sore and tight! They also feel warm to touch. Is this Norma when patients start massaging?
