removal of spinal scar tissue

by Blackers, Feb 28, 2009 06:49AM
10 years ago I had sarcoidosis which manifested itself as a 'lump' on my 5th vertabrae which was rectified with the use of steroids.However scar tissue was left which meant a very slight reduction in my right leg movement.In the last 5 years the muscle ability in my right thigh and knee has reduced due to (advice from a neurologist), the hardening of the scar tissue over the years.

Is there any form of treatment that can remove this scar tisue and possibly increase the the mobilty of the weak knee and thigh

hi blackers,
well if the decrease of your range of movement is due to the scar tissue adhesion, then a cure is surely available.
However it's your orthopaedic surgeon who will decide whether it's really due to scar tissue or some other factor (not neurologist).
So meet an orthopaedician at the earliest.

abhijeet.
