2 months post op of Breast Reduction, I developed hematoma. I have been massaging it. Are there any other suggestions?

My Breast Reduction was preformed on April 9, 2014 and I developed a hematoma (ping-pong ball sized?) in the right breast. My Dr. says to massage it and it will eventually break up. My problem is this - the sensation is all around WEIRD. It's numb still, and rubbing a lump that large and not feeling it absolutely creeps me out. My Dr. suggested taking a tennis ball and rolling it along the breast where the hematoma is. Are there any other suggestions?
