So my incision has a "bubbled" look at both the top & bottom and I constantly have the urge to stretch it. I do the door-jam stretches, foam roller, etc. to offset the formation of adhesions - but I was just wondering if there are any additional stretching methods or perhaps scar gels that enable the scar to heal more quickly?

Thinking about trying cryotherapy for my torso inflammation since I cannot take NSAID's (warfarin) & I'm still in a fair amount of cartilage & tissue pain after 2 OHS's in such a short time. This may sound silly, but, honestly was wondering if the extreme cold temps. could potentially affect my mechanical valve at all (perhaps a question for my cardio?)?

Thank you much in advance.
