Two weeks since my total knee replacement. My scar is very tight and hurts like heck. Any idea of when I can start to massage it and with what?

After previous surgery I was recommended using Bio Oil after 6 weeks as using it too early might risk opening the wound. I've used it at the 6 week mark for both my knee replacements. I think there is something called Scar Shield that you might be able to use earlier, but I have no personal knowledge of it.
