epidural fibrosis

[Maria]

Hey Gil,
I was just thinking about scar tissue and wanted to add that I used to be very concerned about the scar tissue on my S1 nerve root and I always made sure to inquire when I saw a doctor what did he or she think re this as a pain generator and would more surgery generate more and was this the likely cause of my pain and for tho.

I suppose it depends where the scar tissue is and what it's near as to whether it might be involved in being part of the pain complex tho just thought you might want to bring it up during your upcoming consultations and see what replies you will get.

Neurontin helped me greatly with symptoms thought to be caused by scar tisue tho a low dose opioid pain medicine seems to have compounded in obliteration of supposed nerve pain that was at least in part attributed to "scar tissue."

Maybe it loosened up after all these years on me where it should have and filled in other places where it should have...
