[Beckadeez]

I think I may have to read this book. I love books about medicine and such. Can’t wait!

Hi @Lorlynn769. How long did the MUA take? Did you go home the same day?

 

[Beckadeez]

And how are you doing? Any pain?

It is outpatient...the MUA...I was in byg 6am and home by 10:30am not bad. I do have some soreness but not bad. [emoji5]

Let us know the date of your MUA so we can add it to your signature. I'm glad it's over with and that you're having little pain from it.

Thank you...progress each day; however, the leg still isn't 100% straight which is a frustration that I am still using a cane at 11 weeks post op! It's just a process..I keep positive, lol..or try too!
Hope you're doing well! [emoji5]

Your leg won't straighten in just one day. The fibres in those large muscles and tendons at the back of your leg have shrunk and they have to be stretched slowly and gently. That's why an MUA seldom improves extension - it's like stretching a bit of elastic that resumes its previous length as soon as you let go.

I’m doing well, thanks. Try not to let it bother you. I still use my cane at times and I’m 9 weeks out. You’ll get there.
