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.

I got a MUA and it did not help me one bit! My surgeon said it bent back to 120 easily and that meant I did not have any scar tissue. When I got home from the hospital a PT came to my house immediately and my ROM was back to 70!! I have had PT for 6 months and still only 90 ROM with knee and thigh pain. I walk with a limp. My knee is much worse than before my surgery. I wish I would have never had it done!!! I have had water therapy too. I am going to get a second opinion as all my surgeon says is more PT and PT is not helping one bit!
