Glad to hear things are getting better for you. I hadn't thought about having it massaged, I would think that it would just make it hurt and not do a whole lot to help, so that is really interesting. I hope your healing continues.
Mine rotated back into place while I was at work the other day. I was extremely surprised nobody noticed the "I think my chest is going to explode" face I was making because it shot pain all the way through my chest for about a minute and I couldn't force myself to take a breath until the pain died down, which was really weird. Not a single guy made fun of me
Since that moment it has felt really sore but not really painful, and as of now it is barely sore. Sometimes when I wake up it will be sore again from the position I was in while sleeping. Ice and ibuprofin definitely helped while it was out of place, which brought the swelling down to allow it to rotate back into place on her own. My sister(she's has a doctorate in physical therapy) was planning to try to reset it manually this weekend. She said it is typically better if it resets itself so you don't risk damaging any supporting muscle tissue or risk breaking it causing bigger problems.
