Scar Tissue Tear: Symptoms, Pain, Inflammation, and Treatment Options
Symptoms of Torn Scar Tissue
- Pain: Collagen fibers adhere to surrounding tissues, becoming tight and inelastic; stretching/tearing causes pain.
- Inflammation: Redness, swelling, heat as the body responds to injury.
- Limited Mobility: Restricted movement of muscles/joints, leading to stiffness and disability.
- Cosmetic Changes: Discoloration, thickening, new scarring.
Treatment
- Conservative: Physical therapy, massage, anti-inflammatory medications.
- Severe cases: Surgical intervention may be necessary.
Severity depends on location and extent of tearing.
