[|AI|]  Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor ! I understand your concern and would explain that another surgery to remove the scar tissues, can be tried in your clinical situation. It could help improve the pain. But the spasticity is related to the damage to the spine, and it does not improve. Physiotherapy is the best way to treat spasticity, besides Chat Doctor.  I would also recommend trying amitriptyline for the chronic management of the pain. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Best wishes,
