Nerve pain damage after hand surgery

I feel for you. I have neuropathy and 16 weeks ago I had shin shave biopsy which after about a month caused me lots of pain. I have been to several doctors and am told that healing process goes through phases i.e., remodeling. I did 8 weeks of physical therapy but found the 90 minute sessions too much. Since stopping them I have had less pain and can walk better. I also purchased new sneakers with more cushioning and that helped. Tomorrow I will go see an orthopedist in hopes of determining if possibly scar tissue is tethered to bone or nerve. Scar tissue can be a big deal and I am hoping I do not have to face another surgery to correct this. It sounds like your body is ultra-sensitive so proceed with caution. I found even putting ice on my shin affected my neuropathy. Hope you heal soon!

Thank you. You inspired me to work harder at massaging the areas where I have scar tissue, in case that’s contributing to my issues.
