After recovering from surgery I know that surgical scars is a part of life but I am walking around not able to straighten my back because the scar tissue and what feels like the abdominal muscles under the skin where it was sewed up is not able to stretch out. I was told about massaging the scar tissue but has anyone experienced this and any advice to help minimize this.

I know when I had surgery, it felt like I would be bent over forever because of the tissue pulling. It did return to normal after healing but I know what you are feeling.

Good Evening Bob and All,
I checked my email and saw new postings. That's when I usually visit the site. I've recently met a few others who have developed UC and have made contact with them. I've directed them to this site. I also use the site to look up concerns they or I have. This site has been unusually helpful to me. I have seen questions and concerns of others posted. After I scroll down and see similar comments that I would make, I don't comment. As for social media interest, I have a Facebook account (due to work). As of this date, I have one Facebook Friend (and don't even know how that happened). I find the content here more relevant to my life. Then again, I'm old school. If I want to see how a friend is doing I just make a call.
Stay Safe and Sane all. Back to the hockey game,
SharkFan

Thank you for the reply I have started to stretch out a little more and my back is feeling better the more time passes.
