Hi new to group, ammaw52, my Dr. Wants to do a mua June 17 2022. I had tkr 4 months ago today. My rom is 105. Leg is not straight at all. I walk with left leg limping. He said he can not help with straightening leg. Thearpy was 4 months and did thearpy at home. No benefits left. Dr. Would not talk to me about any other way to break up scar tissue. My knee is very stiff. I was in the pool soon as Dr let me at 3months. Any suggestions to break up scar tissue other than mua? Thank You I am afraid it would get worse.

Hi there , I am also 4 months post op with little ROM I can straighten no problem, just bending is an issue. I am getting a manipulation in 5 days along with a shot. I am so nervous for the pain afterwards. I have so much pain now. Ripping and tearing feeling under the incision area while bending and that tight band feeling steady! Still using one crutch to walk and it is always hyperextending on me which makes the knee untrustworthy. I will hope your procedure goes well for you!

I have don’t have much flexion you sound that is good for you …. I could not straighten either I went for mfr that helped straighten my leg of by 5 degrees now…..I would try mfr before mua …. I had mua all I got out of it was swollen…. I did not retain any of the flexion the dr had gotten….I am almost 10 months out I have new dr and I am going for revision surgery end of July … so good luck to you in whatever you decide to do
