My last post and rant although made me feel better does nothing to address the issues. Does anyone know if there is anything that can be done to treat post operative scar tissue that is pushing/bonding on the nerves? I know stretching will help losen/stretch the nerve but is there anything else that can help? The pain down right leg and left calf is pretty intense. Any ideas?
