Torn Upper Lip - 10 stitches

Author: Wayne Thompson

Hi all,
3 weeks ago I fell on my face off a bicycle. My upper lip was crushed and torn perhaps 3/8 of an inch. The emergency room Dr. seemed to do a good job; I got 10 stitches. He said that he saw no indication of torn muscle fibers.
The wound is well healed. When I play, I leak at that location, and the lump of scar tissue feels like an interference. I have no reason to believe that the muscle is affected.
Do any of you have experience with this?
I wonder if I will simply accomodate.
I wonder if massage or stretching of the scar will help soften it.
I hope to get an appointment with a physician I know that is also a clarinetist of similar experience to me.

I haven't found any other threads exactly like this; if you know of any, please let me know.
