I would absolutely NOT recommend having a massage two days after
surgery. Yes, the pain sucks, but not nearly as bad as it would be to
develop a blood clot and have it moved from a massage, or to release
toxins from the muscles (which can make a healthy person feel sick) with
a weakened system. And, no reputable massage therapist would touch you
only two days after surgery.
