A member asked:
I suffer from chronic pain i have signifcant scar tissue which is being broken down and i have numbness when i walk is this caused by scar tissue ?

I can't say: It depends on where the scar tissue is. Numbness is usually caused by a pinched or inflamed nerve. A neurologist could help figure out which nerve is involved and where the nerve is being injured or pressed.
