No they got worse and I am almost nine months out. Drs will blame scar tissue buildup.

@ccollins Welcome to Connect. I know from my surgeries (spine fusion C5-C6, and ankle fracture fixation) that scar tissue does cause tightness which does cause pain. What you can do about it is to work with a physical therapist who does myofascial release to loosen the scar tissue. This would be something to request at your next follow up.

Here is a link to our discussion about myofascial release.

Have you heard of myofascial release before?
