Scar tissue after Hodgkin's radiation

[tony969]

I'm hoping someone can refer me to a great doctor or naturopath who can help me with this. I had Hodgkin's Disease some 15 years ago. Was "cured". Now scar tissue from the radiation is causing a lot of pain in my chest/also I had radiation induced heart attack 6 months ago/. The scar tissue has also affected my stomach. I hope someone has heard of something very useful that can help
Thank you in advance

P.S. Good luck and keep me posted.

But please remember, if it works you will not see results all that quickly. I don't know when my scar began to disappear because I wasn't paying any attention to it. All I know is that a year later you would need a magnifying glass (and have to know what you are looking for) to even see the tiny portion that remains.

Well, thank you very much. It's worth trying it and I will do that. Will keep you posting on the results.

I hit upon something concerning scar tissue quite by accident. I had only one scar. It was from a deep cut on my hand than ran along the line of life. About a year ago I started taking large doses of vitamin B5 to treat adrenal fatigue. A few months ago I noticed that the scar seemed to be fading (the accident dated from some 30 years before). I didn't pay much attention to it until I realized that when I stretched my hand their was no longer any pull from the scar. The only thing I could think of that I had done differently by way of diet or supplements was the addition of B5. So I surfed the net and found that the vitamin was used to minimize scarring. I couldn't find any source that mentioned long-term scars. You might have better luck.

By the way, now that a full year has passed, my scar is now invisible to the naked eye. And when I press along the path of what had been the scar, I feel absolutely nothing under my skin except for about a half inch, and that is only about the width of two hairs. . I am taking 1000 mg. of vitamin B5 daily. There are no side effects. It is worth a try for you, but you have to be patient.

That I couldn't tell you. I don't think you can without another operation

Thank you for your response. I have tried massages in the past- it seems to help a little bit but the scar tissue probably is too big.. where exactly you press? Th question is: how to get rid of this/if possible/

Tony, The best I could think of is the scar tissue is pressing on a nerve have you tried a hot
compress.
