@lkd Hi Lori - I have a little experience with scar tissue - and my hand therapist is a specialist in scar management. She recommends massaging with cream or oil (I use lavender & tea tree in oil) and a circuler device of some kind. I massage the area a bit to warm it up, then roll a ball bearing over it for 3-5 minutes, varying the pressure & pattern. It works so well it has nearly healed the keloid that formed from my latest surgery, and is beginning to soften the lump that formed around the insertion point of the tightrope.
Patience is key when healing...I found the thumb surgery took just as long as a hip replacement!
