@suziet Did your surgeon advise you to wait longer until more healing of the incision has occurred before doing treatment? I have been through spinal fusion surgery on my neck, and incisions create scar tissue as you know, and also scar tissue in the fascial layers. I had to wait until 3 months before I could do physical therapy on my spine surgery scar, and that was also waiting for the fusion process to begin so it would not be disturbed. Sometimes healing is a long process and we just have to be patient.
Myofascial release can help treat scar tissue. My guess is right now, you have so much fluid in the tissue that it is being forced into your scar. As you heal further, hopefully the tissue fluids will lessen. Here is our discussion. MFR has helped me quite a bit and it can reduce tightness and get the body moving better. The first pages of the discussion have a lot of links.

Thank you for the reply. My surgeon dosent know I plan to see the derma
doc. Im sure if he did he may have mentioned the wait time. Thank you for
mentioning this wait time. I guess I just didnt want to miss a window of
opportunity if there was such thing, there is so much i do not know.
I had read a bit about the treatment you mentioned. Im going to look into
that. I will go on the link. Thank you.
Also thank you for explaining the fluid and healing process to me as well.
