Scar adhesion: Sounds like the skin has healed w/adhesion to the bone or tendon.If it isn't too tender, massaging several times a day to break down the underlying connective tissue adhesions may work, especially since the collagen is relatively new and less developed.Otherwise, discuss w/surgeon &/or dermatologist.They may have other suggestions to decrease the adhesions like laser or hyaluronidase injections.
