My scare tissue has started to hurt. Has anyone else had this problem?

It had been 8 years since my surgery It is right were the scare is and

sharp pain there. Is the something that happens?

    I think this happens as my onc asked me if I had pain there 7 or so years out. I did have pain and eventually went to see a physical therapist who recommended massaging the scar and the whole area where I had rads. I overdid the massage though at some point and had swelling which eventually subsided. Even without rads surgery alone can cause scar tissue pain. Best to get expert medical advice.
