Re healing slowly: oh yes, especially as early afterwards as what you are. Doesn't that make sense?
And when I had a little fibrosis in one spot, the doc said that's nothing, leave it alone. To biopsy will only create more scar tissue, and it is nothing anyway. And you will likely have little areas where you will feel fleeting pains, etc, etc. I know you/we are supposed to be ever vigilant, but you'll drive yourself crazy if you react to everything.
You'll be able to figure it out better as you do react, see the doctor, and get the same message you just got. So, yes, relax.
