[
What I said was that my surgeon told me that too much movement post surgery will not cause scar tissue to regrow more quickly]
Ah that clears it up - I didn't see that from my readings of the first post.
What I saw was this and that's what I was replying about.
[
but scar tissue does NOT cause problems]
probably what others were replying about because they have scar tissue and it causing problems.
So the thread got off due to a misunderstanding of sorts...apples vs oranges ...
[
I do find that telling people to restrict their movements post surgery for fear of scar tissue forming is misinformation. ]
You thought the suggestion of limiting movements after surgery was in relation to scar tissue growth.??
If I had noticed a post saying that I would have tried to clarify, I must have missed that one.
I usually suggest gentle ROM movements - but limiting of any quick, fast, jerky moves that may cause a problem.
Like trying to catch a falling cup or dish..
( nothing to do with scar tissue- but just in general- post op advice)

About Dr talk...
I will say that everyone has their own experiences with various Drs and while some love their Dr, another may have had a bad experience with the same one..
It nothing personal and no Dr is or his office staff is 100% perfect every day..
Mistakes happen.
