Scar tissue

I have a small amount of scar tissue too after 2 months. However, there is no pain.

I seem to have scar tissue, at least that’s what the dr says. Very painful, massage therapist says it is restricted fascia in the knee. I am miserable.

I understand …I can’t sit in the tub…only take showers

I'm sorry Rochelle. What has your Dr suggested?

There is a technique - MUA - manipulation under anesthesia - that I suggest you research to see if it can treat scar tissue.

All the best to you.

Hi ..he did that then pt.i was getting wave therapy.I contacted the clinic they never responded.I got one session.that’s it.maybe my insurance doesn’t cover it

MUA, and MFR - and if the MFR therapist suggests surgery then consult a doctor who can deal with the scar tissue surgically. It takes more than a visit or two at the MFR therapist and can take a few months to see the results.

Ty…I don’t want another surgery.I just wished I didn’t have it in the first place.b4 the surgery I could sit down in the tub🩷

Well, you didn’t say how far out you are from your surgery and you didn’t say if you are doing the exercises so you’re going to have to be patient and wait for healing to happen and you’re also going to have to make an effort to do the exercises. MUA is covered by insurance. MFR is covered by insurance, but it has to happen as part of physical therapy. I chose to pay for MFR out of my pocket because I have a very good therapist who doesn’t take insurance. You can also work on your scar tissue yourself. Look online for acupressure and self massage for scar tissue. Good luck.

Had surgery 2 or 3years ago.I thought my knee was bent that is how much scar tissue it is.I did not look or read my X-rays correctly…My leg is not bent correction.It use to burn all the time no relief.Im mad at myself cause the surgeon never told me that my leg was bent.I just told them I want my knee to stop looking handicapped.

Hi Rochelle,

The responsibility for evaluating you X-ray is with a radiologist and your Dr. You said you had started therapy and only had one session.

If the therapy helped, by all means continue. I suggest checking with the clinic first to schedule more sessions. If the therapist was a referral from your surgeon, insurance should cover it. Otherwise, do call your insurance.

I hope that helps, and I hope you get some relief.
