scar tissue

Anyone have issues with pain from scar tissue? If so, how did you handle it, time? meds? any procedures? etc.

Thank you all.

I wrote a long comment that I have used it for about 8 yrs on my scars after recommended by a Dermatologist. Lost comment so this so short & sweet.

Try putting a little bit of movelat gel or ibuprofen gel on where it hurts to numb the pain. It's probably just all the nerves knitting back together, can take time.

scar pain

I have had my defib/pacer since 3/2009 and I have tried everything and I still have pain where my scar is. My doctor says that it occurs in a small percentage of people where the scar will be tender and painfull and mine still is.
