I admire your patience and perseverance. I am on your same road, and praying I can stay the course as you did. Had trauma from the MUA and am 6 weeks in recovery from that. Bleeding and quadriceps hematoma resulted, excruciating tenderness and Pain, no weight on operated leg for at least 3. 1/2 weeks, now about 80% weight bearing. Next step mentioned is the surgery to remove scar tissue. Leg still swollen, so I hope it can wait to let it heal more from the MUA. It seems that once you’re on the difficult recovery road, you dont get off for years! Choices are difficult.

I think I probably should have had an MUA. Got a notice from insurance that the genicular ablation is considered "experimental ," something that was NOT conveyed to me. But, pain management is covering.
I have a friend who had something similar to your situation. Took a very long time for recovery and additional surgery. I wouldn't have had it if it wasn't the only option. Some days are better than others. I'm glad I found support. ☺️ Please feel free to reach out if you need to.
