I have the exact same scar except it was a stanly knife and it didn't break - the scar is around 2" long.

I have a 2.5" scar on my stomach from a surgery when I was like 3 weeks old (the muscle below the stomach stayed closed, they had to open it up, forgot what the technical name is), scars on my elbow, shoulder, and hip from road rash from a bicycle mishap, and the most recent is a scar on my big toe. I was climbing on our steep tin roof trying to get an aerobie down while barefoot, and sliced my toe open on the tin. I should've gone and got stitches but didn't.

 

one on my right forearm (i got a deep cut from my fc's antenna)



a burn on my left forearm (from a curling iron)

 

I've got 3 on my wrist, my knees are all scar tissue (was walking a dog when I was 5, it saw a rabbit and drug me on my knees) I've got one that goes around my knuckle on my pinky on my right hand where I damn near sliced the ****** off working on my FC, another on the other pinky where I punched through glass (I was living at home, had no insurance, and was dirt poor so I had to sew that one up myself. I did good.)



Thats about it

 

i got one on my face... from the ***** the bit my nose off!



acually i have a nice one on the lower stomache area from a stab wound with a screwdriver. its my pride and joy.

 

ive got a 12" scar on my tummy from getting hit with a garage door at 2 1/2, i had just eaten a bunch of prunes, all they saw on the x ray was a big black blob of prunes. moral of the story DONT EAT PRUNES



i have 3 scars on my face from a dog bite, 2 little ones on the first 2 finger of my right hand, a burn scar on my right wrist from the beehive oil cooler on an 83-85 rx7. and a fresh one on my right arm, from a new mpv.

 

I'm missing half of my left ear, have about 10 million smaller scars on my hands and arms. Have a nice scar on my cheek from RPG frag. A 7 inch incision on my rib cage. And about a 12 inch scar running from my lower back upwards.

 

do anyone elses scars limit movement, or did they for a while after they happened?



June 30 was one year from my wreck, the scar running down my neck is still tight as ****. I asked the doc about it and he said there is really nothing they can do due to how wide the scar is. He said if it was thinner, they could cut like a v shaped groove to remove the scar tissue and stitch it back up, but there was a 50/50 chance that it wouldn't improove it anyways...



anyone know? will this thing stretch/loosen up over time? It not near as bad as it used to be. it used to pull my head to the left if I wasn't paying attention... now it doesn't do that anymore, but I notice it when I'm golfing or lifting weights or stuff like that.

 

Yeah man it will, i had 5 reconstructive surgerys to fix my ear. After a couple of them I could barely turn my head. Now there is no limitation whatsoever. Same with a 4" x 4" square scar from a skin graft on my hip/thigh.
