Hello, I realize this is an older post, but your situation is so similar to mine, that I could have written it!
I had an anterior first and then a posterior revision which made it worse. I've been told there's a thick band of scar tissue deep into the bone and there's no solution! Have you had any luck finding a solution?

Hello @lafromli, Welcome to Connect. I'm not sure anyone is following this discussion but you might want to read through the following discussion and see if it helpful.
--- Scar tissue removal - is it the right thing to do?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/scar-tissue-removal-is-it-the-right-thing-to-do/.

I'm not sure if you saw my post above but thought I would repeat a link just in case it might help. Here's an article that may give a better explanation on pain caused by scar tissue and how it's diagnosed – Why Scar Tissue Pain Occurs and What You Can Do About It: https://www.healthline.com/health/scar-tissue-pain.

Also, @jenniferhunter started a discussion on Myofascial Release Therapy (MFR) that you might find helpful here - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/myofascial-release-therapy-mfr-for-treating-compression-and-pain/.

Have you heard of or tried MFR therapy?
