Hello, so sorry you are having so much unwanted pain! However you are somewhat early in recovery based on my experience and what I have read from others. I would recommend considering myofascial release (MFR) and or “shock therapy “ the latter not as painful/uncomfortable as MFR. the latter is like a small jackhammer which pulses your scar tissue, hopefully breaking it up to then heal. Also known as epat. I started both at 10 months, wishing I had started sooner as I am still having pain with stairs especially, also with walking, swimming and cycling. I wasn’t prepared for a multi year recovery.
