Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA) after knee replacement
So after hitting a wall at 93 Degrees my doctor and I said a MUA was in my best interest. They did all the pre op work just like they did for my surgery and even did the procedure in the OR. After waking up something was different I had no pain! My doctor said that he felt the resistance at 95 degrees and that it got worse until 105 degrees. Once he got to 114 it completely freed up and he went straight to 135 degrees. So I went home and didn’t have to take any meds at all because it just didn’t hurt. Oh I forgot to mention earlier that most of my pain was from the tendon on the outside of my knee being inflamed by rubbing the implant. He gave me a steroid shot for that. Today I had PT and after warming up we measured my ROM and it was 120!!!!! Still haven’t even taken any meds! We shall see how it goes over the next few days but if it feels like this I am golden! Finally! Wish I did this a month ago
