Pelvic Pain: The Role of Scar Tissue The patient presents with pain in the area surrounding her scar because the tissue isn’t getting the blood flow and oxygen that it needs. Another way that scar tissue can wreak havoc within the pelvic floor is as a result of referred pain. Remember, there is a network of nerves that innervate the pelvic floor. If a scar is on top of or impinging on a nerve that also innervates another part of the pelvic floor, then that area can also be affected.

Is Your Pain Caused by Scar Tissue? Adhesions are scar tissues that form internally. Scar tissue is a dense fibrous connective tissue that forms over and/or around a healed wound or cut, and is the body’s way of repairing damaged tissues or of protecting surrounding tissues from foreign bodies.Internal adhesions form from virtually all surgical procedures.ow to ease pain caused by scar tissue. Scars and adhesions are composed primarily of collagen. The scar tissue’s fibrosity prohibits adequate circulation, collagenous tissue creates physical limitations, and the lack of blood flow and lymph drainage occurring in scar tissue makes it vulnerable to dysfunction.

Understanding Scar Tissue Management in Physical Therapy After scar tissue forms in the body, it is not permanent. The scar tissue can become stronger and better able to tolerate stretching forces through a process called remodeling. Remodeling scar tissue is a must to ensure that the muscle, tendon, skin, bone, or ligament becomes normal, healthy tissue again.

As is shown in the pictures below, adhesions can bind your organs or tissue together in a way that begins to cause pain, organ dysfunction, or other symptoms. In some rare cases, adhesions can even cause life-threatening injuries, such as bowel obstruction.

Scar Tissue and Pain After Back Surgery For this reason, the importance of scar tissue (epidural fibrosis) as a potential cause of postoperative pain—commonly called failed back surgery syndrome—is controversial. Scar tissue formation is part of the normal healing process after a spine surgery. While scar tissue can be a cause of back pain or leg pain, in and of itself the scar tissue is rarely painful since the tissue contains no nerve endings. Scar tissue is generally thought to be the potential cause of the patient's pain if it binds the lumbar nerve root with fibrous adhesions. Examining other Causes of Pain after Back Surgery

The Effects of Scar Tissue After Surgery In fact, scar tissue can restrict many layers of muscle and connective tissue, which can cause varying degrees of pain or discomfort. Scar tissue is weaker, less elastic and more prone to re-injury than normal, healthy tissue, and can lead to chronic pain if it affects the functioning of other structures--especially nerves and blood vessels.

- A scar is made up of 'connective tissue', gristle-like fibers deposited in the skin by the fibroblasts to hold the wound closed. With keloids, the fibroblasts continue to multiply even after the wound is filled in. Thus keloids project above the surface of the skin and form large mounds of scar tissue. Keloids may form on any part of the body, although the upper chest, shoulders and upper back are especially prone to keloid formation. Symptoms include pigmentation of the skin, itchiness, redness, unusual sensations and pain.
