They are like thick bands around and above my ankles and formed approx. 8 weeks post op. I am now 14 weeks post op and my ankles look thicker than what I originally had and getting worse every week. I have been getting Active Release Therapy massage for fascial adhesions but not seeing any improvement. The area is still painful/sore to touch. What are the best ways to break down this scar tissue? Is there any chance of this being permanent?
