Hi all,

 

I've got a patient that had an operation 20 years ago around the diaphragm.

The resulting deep scar is painful and the patient has to relax on it to

stop the skin stretching and aggravating the pain. Has anyone treated a

painful scar using acupuncture, gua sha, herbs, etc?

 

 

I did some experimentation on a friend of mine using B-12 injections.

She went from not being able to sleep on the side of the scar to having no

problem at all in about 6 weeks.

 

I injected B-12 along both sides of the scare approximately one inch

apart once a week. The problem stemmed from a hip replacement and there was a

lot

of tissue loss in the area. After 6 weeks she could palpate the are with no

discomfort and sleep positions were no longer an issue.

 

I also recommend Neprinol from Arthur Anderson of Vitialzyme. They both

use enzymes that dissolve scare tissue and reduce inflammation. Seems to work

for a lot of people.

Hi Attilio!

 

I strongly recommend using moxa!

 

I had a patient (whom i only saw on an irregular basis

because I saw him at a place where i volunteered) who

had been stabbed in the dorsal forearm. As I

remember, the initial wound had damaged tendons,

nerves and blood vessels. Unfortunately, because he

was jailed immediately after the stabbing, he didn't

receive appropriate surgery until about 6 months

later.

 

I first treated him about 14 months after the

stabbing. The scar was still PURPLE in color, very

thick and painful with referred pain & weakness in the

hand.

 

I used some distal points on the forearm, and ear

needles directed at an oblique angle around the scar

(but not too deeply) + indirect moxa (stick) over the

scar. Most importantly, i gave him moxa sticks to use

on himself.

 

About 6 weeks later (and I remember only treating him

3-4 times in this time period), his scar had changed

coloration to an almost normal pink (he is a Caucasian

man); the pain at the scar site & hand was almost

completely gone and he reported more strength in the

hand. I give the credit for this rather dramatic

change to his use of of the moxa stick.

Painful Scar

 

Hi all,

 

I've got a patient that had an operation 20 years ago

around the

diaphragm.

The resulting deep scar is painful and the patient has

to relax on it

to

stop the skin stretching and aggravating the pain. Has

anyone treated a

painful scar using acupuncture, gua sha, herbs, etc?

 

Warm regards,

Attilio,

 

I know I'm late getting back to you on this. But I've personally

treated my own painful scar (4 c-sections......vertical scar) with

electro-acupuncture and found it to be very helpful. I don't know what

was causing the pain, I just figured it to be scar tissue developing.

Whatever it was it helped. I did about 3 treatments on a daily basisi

and only treated on either sides of the scar.

 

It sounds like you got some great feedback,

Jamie
