    Thank you all for your comments. It is so helpful and will give me more confidence at my appointment. It’s difficult for me to have patience sometimes. I need to come here to remind myself that this is all going to take longer than I think.

    MUA Steelergal's Recovery Thread

    Sorry about posting the link. I was trying to find out if anyone else had heard of that process for help with ROM and avoiding MUA. It would be nice to know if it’s helpful but guess we can’t discuss that here.

    MUA Steelergal's Recovery Thread

    Hello all. I’m following this because I have also been told I should have an MUA. I’m trying not to. I have done a little research and found 10X Therapy. Has anyone heard of this??

    Thanks @Jockette I should know better. I keep asking the same questions out of fear that I won’t improve. I appreciate your reassurance. I have to remember to be patient and follow my gut feeling which is belief in the Bonesmart way of healing.

    Hello. I just got out of my 6 week post op. My doctor wants me to do MUA because he said I have excessive scar tissue built up which is causing a lot of pain when bending and limiting my walk. I am afraid to go. After reading things here I told him I did NOT want to do the surgery. He said he...

    Thank you for your support @Ladyala It sounds like we are experiencing very similar things. I also think the emotions are part of my hormones as well. I’m sorry you are having a rough go today. I hope you can feel better too. :console2:

    Hello all. I’m on week 6. Is it normal to still feel a lot of pain? I’m getting so frustrated and I feel like I’m not progressing as much as I should be. I’m looking for some reassurance. I really am not happy about this at all right now. I’m having a lot of struggle with patience.

    Thank you so much @whit828 it makes me feel so much better that I’m not alone in this. I have a difficult time allowing the process to unfold and become filled with fear and worry. I have to keep reminding myself that I am making strides. I was in so much pain the first few weeks and now I’m...
