One side only - no explanation- Most of the problem was on the side that was removed. I am concerned if this may cause an unbalance. There is considerable new pain on the side with the hardware intact-may be unrelated to the hardware removal. Looking for causes. the original was many years ago.

@cdoq You may be interested in reading about Myofascial release which is done by a physical therapist. A PT is also a great resource to ask questions about any physical issue. I do MFR and it has helped me a lot overcoming tightness from surgical scars.

Are you currently working with a physical therapist?
