Thanks!!! At least I know I'm not the only one and I'm not sure if I should try massaging them or just leave them alone. I don't know if there's some irritation at the point of suture that formed some scar tissue along the line of the internal incision. But I was hoping they would just go away. It seems perhaps not.

I believe calcification has occurred over the sutures so massage won't work. called heterotrophic ossification.
