My other injuries were fractured pelvis, comminuted fracture to sacrum, three various fractures in lumbar spine, three fractured ribs and fracture in tail bone and pubic bone. Since I had healed 100% and then pain started one year after, the first few doctors I went to didn't even consider that it could be from the accident. They tried several things with one spine doctor doing two major surgery, promising me that it would cure my pain. I repeatedly asked if it could be from the accident and the first several doctors wouldn't even look at the scar because they said it was healed. I was also diagnosed with Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy and I rehabbed almost three months for that. The PT figured out that I was misdiagnosed since there was no improvement and I kept getting worse. I finally saw a doctor who actually looked at the scar and felt that it was an issue. I had two discectomies as well as 13 steroid injections in various places but nothing helped. I am supposed to be getting an MRN within the next several weeks. I don't think misalignment has anything to do with it. The scar tissue that is atrophied is in my upper inner thigh and underwear crease line and that is where my intense burning pain is.

@dcdusek Thanks for your response. It is possible that scar tissue is the issue from both the skin on the inner thigh and the prior surgeries. That will create scar tissue in the fascia which is a connective tissue network that permeates everything in your body. Are you describing scar tissue that might appear indented when you say it has atrophied?

If all of the fascial scar tissue is too tight, it pulls and creates pain. You might be interested in our Myofascial Release discussion. If you read through the first pages, there are lots of links with information. Other patients have joined the discussion in later pages. There is a provider search on the myofascialrelease.com website. MFR can treat and loosen scar tissue. Finding an expert in the John Barnes techniques is essential.
