I had this problem in my hand and had some of my nerves relocated and buried deeper in my hand so the scar tissue no longer touches the nerves but it is costly. Good luck.

If you remove the scar tissue surgically, more will just grow in its place to heal the scar left behind. Scar tissue forms when there is a lack of oxygen supplied to the sight of healing. Vitamin E lessens the need for oxygen in healing somehow. It takes a long time, but vitamin E has helped remove my scars a little. Take a couple capsules a day and rub a little gel from a broken one on scar before going to sleep. Might sound stupid, but is pretty cheap and at worst won't help- no bad side effects.

They say that the site of the surgery is what hurts the most. I'm about to have a total hip replacement and this is what i was told...that it's the incision site that will hurt.......my hip has NO cartilege so it's rubbing bone on bone so i know the pain!!! I think if i were you i would go back to the dr. who did it and see what he says?????????? He may give you some pain pills but if you don't want to take that.....try some accupunture!!!!!
