post op lateral release scarring
(3 discussions)
Is there any way I can reduce the post op scarring?
I am 6 weeks post op lateral release and have a large knot at the sight.
I am in physical therapy and doing well except for the knot and swelling after running. I am doing self massage. I am afraid the scar will get me right back where I started.

Was your surgery arthroscopic?
al
yes, scar tissue is at the lateral retinaculum site, not the insertion site.
May PT
Are you doing scar tissue massage or just general massage?? When you go back to see your doc show him the “knot”. If your doing scar tissue massage correctly you can break a lot of the collegen scar tissue. Good luck, Mya
