@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?

Hi All, I'm only five weeks post laminotomy. The first week and a half was good, but now every day is different. Yesterday, the eclipse day I walked alot and it felt great, then wham! today my legs are twitching and my pelvis feels uneven. I'm having worries that something went wrong in the surgery. I'm trying to get a telehealth appointment with the Surgeon. I really miss being able to exercise, getting fat now from not being able to do any exercise. Any words of reassurance ?
