An update on my scar pain from over-massaging it:

I emailed my doctor about my scar pain resulting from massaging it and she said that the pain isn’t from the surgery. Rather, it’s from my rubbing my scar too aggressively, which broke up the scar tissue.

So it’s the scar tissue that’s causing the pain, not any continued healing from my operation. She told me to stop massaging it.

Instead, I might try a warm compress to get the blood flowing down there a bit more, which I hope will help break up the scar tissue mildly.

I’m taking a few days off to let the soreness subside, but I really can’t wait to start exercising again. I really love having these extra days to workout!  Totally not missing my monthly visitor 🙂
