I am 3 years postop and my head around the scar is tender. Not sure if this is natural. Has anyone else had this problem?
I have posted in the past about scar management techniques. You’ll have to look some up. Scar management for the CHiari type incision is no different from handling other surgical scars that remain painful past their healing time-frame. Ask if you have any questions. If you prefer, any physical therapist who has dealt with post-surgical clients should be able to guide you if you are hesitant in being aggressive with the scar tissue. Good luck
I’m two years out, and have pain and swelling and looks like an infection, going to see Doctor tomorrow.
Has anyone had an infection in their site after a few years post-op, more vert9,and now I’m light headed
