Painful,scar: While surgery can remove the current scar tissue, the same process will also produce new scar tissue. Unless you had an infection or secondary problem that caused the excess scarring, I would have a Frank discussion with your surgeon about what steps can be taken to prevent a re occurrence. Range of motion, massage post heat can help,both current problem and post surgery ones as well. Good luck
