It’s unfortunately past that. The scar tissue is very deep and I did have therapy but it didn’t help at all. I also spoke with several doctors about it but it’s most likely a damaged nerves hi hi decompression will probably not help.

@dcdusek I wanted to make sure that you understand that myofascial release can work where other PT has failed. The reason is because it is a gentle shearing force and you just wait for the fascia to respond on it's own. This prevents the body from bracing against it as can happen when too much force is applied. The fascia has to reorganize itself. With a more extensive issue, it may take a lot of sessions to resolve an issue. When it releases and you can get back to more normal motion and body ergonomics, it can relieve pressure on nerves. Some doctors embrace this as mine does to help with my thoracic outlet syndrome, and some don't know about it. In med school, they learn on cadavers and don't see living fascia unless they are in surgery, but the focus there is on the procedure itself which is why they don't think about it. You wouldn't know if MFR could help unless you tried it. Here is a video that shows how the fascia reorganizes itself in living tissue. What resonates with me is that your pain started a year after healing from your injuries. If you had nerve damage from the injuries, wouldn't it have started back then at the beginning?
