Surgical Scar – Severe Pain

Scar Pain Resolved With Prolozone

Patient Background

Robert visited Sano Via requesting treatment of severe pain coming from 2 surgical scars. He had his appendix removed about 6 months prior, through a minimally invasive technique using small incisions and a video camera (laparoscopy or “keyhole” technique). Robert expected that pain after surgery would be minimal and thought it would all resolve within a couple of weeks. Unfortunately this was not the case.

Findings

Robert described constant, progressive burning and stabbing pain around both incision sites. Pain was aggravated by his shirt rubbing on the scars. The pain was so bad it caused him to leave work and make a claim for disability.

Prolozone Treatment

Sano Via medical staff explained that Robert may have pain related to injury to small nerves, which were not healing properly. The risks and benefits of Prolozone^TM were explained. Robert decided to try Prolozone due to very low risk level and good potential for pain reduction. Robert’s abdomen was examined and both incisions appeared to be tender and sensitive to light touch, although the incisions appeared fully healed with no signs of infection. The skin was marked with the location for Prolozone injection. With Robert lying comfortably on his back, the area to be injected was sterilized, then cooled with ethyl chloride spray for a few seconds so that needle insertion would not be felt. A fine needle was inserted under one of the scars and 3cc of Prolozone Anti-Inflammatory Formula with procaine and various natural medicines was injected. This was followed by ozone injection at a precise concentration that is known to stimulate healing and tissue regeneration.

Immediate Pain Reduction

After the injection, Robert was surprised that the severe daily pain he was experiencing was almost gone. We asked him to go home and see if the pain improvement was sustained. If benefit was noted, he was instructed to return to inject the second scar.

Follow Up

After a few weeks, Robert returned for a check-up. He was pleased to report that the pain from the scar that was treated had completely resolved. He was eager to treat the second scar which was still very painful. The same Prolozone mixture was injected into the second scar. Immediate pain improvement was again noted.

Final Results

Robert was advised to return if any pain came back in either of the incisions. He did not return. We heard through a family member that Robert was back to work and had no further pain. We concluded that the Prolozone therapy had stimulated the damaged nerves to heal thereby curing Robert’s pain. Prolozone injections were either painless or nearly painless. Since Robert’s pain was cured, no further follow-up was needed.
