Hi,
Welcome to HCM. I have read & understood your concern.
Plan B being a high dose hormonal preparation- it's likely to have breast pain & also abdominal pain due to digestive disturbances.
Please don't worry - your symptom seems to be a side effect of the drug... You can take a dose of carminative liquid over the counter or a glass of lemon drops with soda water to relieve pain due to disturbed digestion.
You should not massage breast- it's not going to help. It will vanish over the time.
You should get physical evaluation if the pain is severe/ recurs frequently.
Thanks.
