Studies indicate MUAs are not effective if components are oversized. Have you had a second opinion?
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3777155/
My second opinion said no one would touch me until 1. A MUA had been tried and 2. A year had passed since TKA
My MUA seems to be working so far. Still exercising, icing, elevating, NSAIDS…

Thank you sooo much for the link. Very few mention the problem of an oversized component.
Not sure I understand it all but I get it to some degree and will mention it at my next second opinion.

Keep it up Cathy! My pain eventually got much better after exercising and PT scrapping hamstrings and tendons around the knee. I was feeling down the first week after the mua but started seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. It should get even better!
