Interesting that your PT could discern scar tissue, catrin. Did he say how he knew it was scar tissue?

I'm curious in knowing the difference between scar tissue and trigger points, for anyone who'd care to enlighten. I have what I always call a "crunchy" area in my right butt cheek near where I think of as the piriformis. When I massage this area, it feels "crunchy" if I press deeply and is sore. It "hurts so good" to massage the piriformis area with a firm foam roller.

I believe this area of "crunchiness" developed after my cycling accident in which I fractured my pelvis in 2005, though it's fairly far from the fractured area, which was from the outer wing of my right ilium to the sacrum and is plated and pinned from the front, not from the buttock side. I've mentioned the "crunchiness" to a couple of different orthopedists and PTs, but oddly, none of them have tried to feel the crunchiness, maybe because it's on my buttock and thus an awkward place for them to palpate/massage? I have no idea. My DH thinks it's scar tissue. Does this sound right? Or is a trigger point? Any guesses?

Thanks!
