Inflammation: Tissues

[D]own-regulation of the inflammatory response concludes acute inflammation. Removal of the injurious stimuli halts the response of the inflammatory mechanisms, which require constant stimulation to propagate the process. Additionally, many inflammatory mediators have short half lives and are quickly degraded in the tissue, helping to quickly cease the inflammatory response once the stimulus has been removed.[2]
[W]hen your body is in a chronic state of inflammation, the inflammation can lodge in your muscles, joints and tissues. In fact, chronic inflammation is a leading cause of many diseases, both physical and neurological, including heart disease.

The Chronic Inflammatory stage is the remodeling stage. Signs of inflammation are absent and scar tissue is maturing. Pain is felt in the ROM after the tissue resistance at the end feel. Maturation refers to the growth of the fibroblasts to fibrocytes and remodeling refers to the organization of and shrinking of collagen fibers along lines of stress.
In the long run... inflammation can harm the very tissues it is meant to heal. Its destructive side has long been evident in diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, in which inflammation cripples the joints, and multiple sclerosis, in which it destroys the insulation surrounding nerve fibers.
When inflammation subsides, the damaged tissue is repaired. Depending on the severity of the inflammation and the type of tissue involved repairs may or may not be complete; in minor inflammations of the skin, for example, the tissue is capable of complete regeneration whereas in nervous tissue regeneration may be more limited and the damaged cells may be replaced with scar tissue.
