Can Scar Tissue Contribute to Pain

Scar tissues, remnants of past injuries or surgeries, can surprisingly contribute to chronic pain in some patients. Recognizing this connection can help validate your pain, which is an important step in the healing process.

If you’re new to my channel, my name is Dr. Drew Timmermans, ND, RMSK. I’m the founder of Regenerative Performance in Gilbert, AZ, specializing in interventional orthobiologics, which is just a fancy way of saying we help people reclaim their life from chronic pain without steroids or surgery. We challenge the conventional pain management approaches by addressing the root causes of chronic pain.

24 yrs old: Enrolled at the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine (now Sonoran University of Health Sciences) after discovering my passion for naturopathic medicine.
26 yrs old: Still battling chronic back pain, I finally became pain-free through a platelet-rich plasma injection.

I have scar tissue from a time a tore into my thumb pretty bad, and the tissue is slightly painful and sensitive if something hits that spot abruptly.

Hey Drew, my sister has had endometriosis surgery multiple times and at some point 2 of her internal organs fused together and had to be separated. She has chronic pain and flare ups in these areas. She also has shooting nerve pain flare ups and takes strong nerve blockers. It’s really debilitating for the last 7 years.
Could peptides help these issues? What peptide treatments would you recommend?
We’re based in New Zealand and the chronic pain specialists here have not been very helpful. There treatments are strong pain killers and nerve blockers. Useless.

Does BPC-157 help with skin issues on the lips? My lips constantly peel and sometimes appear translucent. I was suggested BPC-157 because I also may have GI problems. Could you clarify or break down how this can help my lips get back healthy?

Does scar tissue cause tendon adhesions and gliding issues? If so would both prp and bpc 157 help reduce scar tissue and facilitate better tendon movement?

Hi there Drew.

Have you had any patients who have dysautonomia/pots syndrome due to instable neck ligaments or loss of curvature

Is orosthatic hypotension(low blood pressure) something these patients have encountered

Lastly can a person have neck instability but have no neck pain

Dear Drew, do you advise to have some enzymes course (serrapeptase) before BPC-157 (to get rid at least of some scar tissue)? For some months, maybe. Or at the same time... ? I have peripheral nerves and muscles (atrophy) damaged (some parts of the body showed denervation without signs of reinnervation) from the inflammation from Covid + damaged by hypoxia. 3 years in now. Even extremely little physical effort (rather movement) damages my tissues more and more... It gets better with time but always attains a plateau (and then another damages from very little efforts occur repeatedly). I wonder if it plateaus because of scar tissue (and maybe damaged microvasculature). It is in all my body. Unfortunately, I live in France and can't see you in person:-( If a video consultation is possible, I'd be very happy. Thank you very much in advance,

Hi could a compression injury cause scar tissue? Its like the areas gone hard and won't release properly. Thanks x

Hi Doc! BPC and TB are usually touted as the best peptides for tendon repair, but have you seen Ghk-CU help at all?

[sushilsomani]

I have supraspinatus tendon in prosterior fibres, involving half of the thickness, 5mm length and 2mm wide reaching to brusal surface. Will the TB 500 help in healing ?

Hey Drew, have you had any patients come to you suffering from fluoroquinolone antibiotic toxicity?

Hi Doc, what peptides would you recommend for a chronic tendinosis of the left rotator cuff ? It affects normal life and simple gesture like driving orholding something with the hand.
