Trouble with scar tissue?

Posted by phxratt1 @phxratt1, Jun 22, 2024

Has anyone had trouble with scar tissue forming after a lumbar fusion or an SCS laminectomy? I had an L4-5 fusion in Oct 2023, and I'm nervous about getting a laminectomy for the SCS paddles.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Spine Health Support Group.

Thank you so much for sharing and just letting me know that I am not alone in this. My prayers are also with you to have less pain. I pray that your pain is manageable. Let me know what I can specifically pray for you. God Bless, Tracy

Had an L4-S1 fusion after 3 previous surgeries, no scar tissue. Been fused C3-T1, no scar tissue. Had 4 right shoulder surgeries followed by a replacement, no scar tissue in that joint either.

I’ve had dozens of surgeries and haven’t developed any scar tissue. I’ve got bad luck with the number of surgeries but super lucky to not have developed scar tissue.

Good luck,
Bob

Thank you so much Tracy! I am praying for several people in this group who have upcoming surgeries and I will add you to my prayer list😊
I would appreciate if you would pray for my back to continue to heal and for the pain to dissipate 🙏
I am so blessed to have had a successful surgery…. The healing is just such a slow process and I want to get really active again!
Thank you again, Sherry
