Thank you

Hi

I have scar tissue from my ACDF (C5, C6, C7) and my physiotherapist is working on it with gentle myofascial massage along with the massage therapy I have with the RMT at the physio's office. So far I'm still in a lot of pain from my issues, but I'm told it should help. (hoping)

I will keep you informed if I end up getting more then a day or so of relief from it.

I also have numbness and tingling in my fingers and hands, but not sure if that's from scar tissue or double crush syndrome.
