    I am going to use bio oil its supposed to be great for scars if used regularly, I had my surgery 9 weeks ago and its still very tender but I must try to use the oil as its easy to rub on and might help if massaged gently, worth a try I think take care Cyndey

    Just reading that makes me wince ...... NO would be my advice, four weeks is VERY early in recovery. Gentle massage with something like Bio Oil would be OK though.

    Hi. I'm 2 and a half years after THR and still have discomfort and soreness/ stiffness in side of hip which my surgeon said is due to deep scar tissue which had formed. He thinks only an Op will help clear it up. I've tried physio, massage etc but nothing has helped and I don't really want another Op. Regards Nick
