The PT worked for a while, but the pain along the shin is back, at times severe, and radiates into big toe. I am now reconsidering surgery. My concern is that if I have surgery to remove the scar tissue, the tissue will grow back, and I'll be in the same boat. A friend told me she thought Cleveland Clinic might be able to remove the old scar tissue with a lazer. I have scanned the xrays, mri, myelogram and ct into WORD documents, and can forward them to an email address if you so desire.
Some people just have a propensity of forming more scar tissue than others.
If you have scar forming around the laminectomy you need to have the nerve roots decompressed or this may result in permanent injury to your nerves. All rights reserved.
