The Honolulu Pain Management Clinic LLC can assist in the post operative healing process in treating scar pain.
Scar Pain – Scars are areas of fibrous tissue (fibrosis) that replace normal skin after injury. A scar results from the biological process of wound repair in the skin and other tissues of the body. Thus, scarring is a natural part of the healing process. [1] Scar tissue pain occurs, for example, after an operation, and can result in chronic pain in and around the scar area. The cause of scar tissue pain is damage to a small skin nerve, or when a nerve is squeezed by the scar tissue. Patients with scar tissue pain typically complain of neuropathic pain, during which continuous pain is present, alternating with spontaneous attacks of stabbing pain in the scar area. This pain can sometimes occur after a complaint-free period lasting some months postoperatively. [2]
