I am curious to learn what your doctor recommends after seeing him if you wish to share because putting in a different size knee does not address your scar tissue build up. You will have new scar tissue from the new replacement and will require to start all over again with PT. If it's just scar tissue, there are a number of ways to break it up. You are past the time frame, I believe, for an MUA but there are other ways like the ones you've mentioned.

Hi I went to my dr. today and he said that he was pleased with the progress that I have made since my last visit which was 2 weeks ago. He said as of know he does not see any reason for having to go back into the knee. my Dr. thinks that the pain that I am experiencing is due to pushing myself in PT and home therapy, he reports if I am still experiencing the pain etc. when I return in 3 weeks then we will discuss other options.
