A member asked:
Can fat necrosis spread? i had it in my hip last yr & it was left 2 heal itself, however the pain has resurfaced.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not exactly: While it is highly unlikely that fat necrosis can spread without further trauma, it is quite possible for scar tissue to be tethering a nerve. Try massaging the area with hand lotion, and if that's unsuccessful, return to the surgeon that treated you originally.
