If your flexor tendons are stuck in scar tissue does it hurt?
Posted , 4 users are following.
I had surgery to repair 4 tendons and they have become stuck in scar tissue.
My question is if they are stuck does it cause pain? What are other symptoms other then unable to move the fingers or function?
I have severe pain in my fingers, cold, swelling, red color.

I haven't experienced that. I'm 3 weeks post surgery. I went to see a physiotherapist last week and I was told it's too soon to start physio. How soon did you start with physio? When will I be able to put pressure on the operated foot?
I'm so tired of using crutches and the moon boot. I know the healing process takes time I just feel like I'm not progressing.

I had a severe laceration to my right palm. Had a piece of glass in it and then someone hit me with a cane and it shoved the glass to the bone. It severed 4 tendons, 2 nerves and a artery. My surgeon said it was a severe case and I had my stitches removed at two weeks and was places in a splint for 6 weeks before I started therapy. He said I couldn't make sudden movements or I could rupture something.
For you I am not to sure best of luck to you.
Next month I'm scheduled for my second surgery.

Envision a rubber band attached to a piece of fabric...if you hold the rubber band with a finger and try to move the fabric, you will only move it minimally...so the answer is yes.
Pain, cold, swelling, red tell me something else is going on.
Pain involves the nerves.
Cold indicates reduced blood flow.
Swelling indicates inflammation.
Red can be inflammation and infection.
Make an appointment to see either the surgeon or your primary care physician or an urgent care.
In your corner,
kind regards,

The joints of my two fingers is extremely painful to touch or move. I also have a almost constant burning sensation. And to move my hand or other fingers make my incision mark feel like it's splitting open and has pain.

Yes. The pain in my joints are deep and constant very painful.
I had 4 tendons, 2 nerves, and a artery completely severed. The surgeon said the only way he was able to repair the tendons was he had to stack them on top of each other. And he told me the adhesion will be greater and little it come it completely took over. Just was wondering if after 5-6 months if tendon adhesion would be this painful not including the burning sensation. That's just a added bonus.
I have a appointment with my hand surgeon on Wednesday for a evaluation. I went to therapy and it was agonizing and my therapist said I shouldn't have this much pain this far out and do did my doctor. So I'll repost what they tell me.
