The description of your scar tissue as rough or bumpy may be similar to my "crunchy" area. If it is scar tissue, I guess I don't understand exactly how it forms.
Mine was the consequence of a strained/pulled hamstring - I think that often causes micro-tears - so that makes sense to me but I am no specialist. There seemed no doubt in his mind what he felt.

It makes sense that both scar tissue and little contraction knots would cause pain in a muscle... Perhaps if Knotted or one of our other PT members happens to see this that she can educate us?
