How to reduce pain from an old scar?

About 10 years ago I sliced my thumb open on a knife. The wound was from the pad of my thumb along the bottom to near the first joint. It bled heavily and was painful for a few days.
However recently I have been getting a lot of pain from the scar area. By a lot I mean its really hard to hold a screwdriver in my hand because of the level of pain. Since this is something I have to do for my job, that's an issue.
I'm self employed so I could do with some solution...

Otherwise, yeah go to the docs. I have a 12-15" scar on the inside of my left arm which, when jabbed or knocked a certain way, is probably only marginally less painful than having a needle jabbed into the end of my *****, and it will never get better. Was just bliss when I played rugby at school....
All the best!

Anyway, you're not an authority on this matter and, as said, diagnosing from the internet is just guesswork.
Also, I have a painful scar, would ultrasound work on mine? Doctors have told me it won't do jack-**** but apparently I should come to Scoobynet and ask jew, I mean you....

That's because to some you appear to try to come across as the infallible voice of reason on this forum. Or maybe you just like attention, God knows

I've never claimed to be a medical authority, the OP is under no obligation to listen to me.
Not that Doctors are infallible....actually appealing to authority is a fallacy.
