Yes, I decided to go ahead with the MUA to help with the adhesion on both my knees (especially the right one). After I've woken up from the MUA procedure, I was able to walk to my room's bathroom with the use of 2 Canadian crutches. But I now know to ask for a strong painkiller beforehand. The following day, the hospital's physiotherapist came to see me walk along the corridor and practice walking few steps up & down using 2 crutches. The OS came to see me later that day and asked the nurse to put me on CPM machine 2 days in a row until I reach 100 deg while on it. Which I did on the second day of using the machine. I was ecstatic! I was discharged on the 3rd-day post-MUA. At home, there's no more CPM machine to help me bend, I was prescribed to take lesser painkiller meds (Paracetamol to be taken with Mobic and Endone - at separate times), and back to the reality of some light home duties. There's a big difference, of course, there was more pain compared to when I was still at the hospital where they don't have a problem giving me those painkillers whenever I ask for them in due time and the feeling of tightness is worse than pre-MUA.
But since last night, the pain and swelling are lesser with the elevating and icing technique a few times, a couple of pedaling exercises (5 min each time), as well as doing some short walks every now and then. BoneSmart way is finally working its magic to me. I've noticed that since the swelling is a lot lesser, I was able to bend my knees a bit more during some heel slides earlier today.
I've researched and read really good reviews online and found the best Physiotherapist near me where they focus more on alleviating their patient's pain and educating on what to do at home to manage it. Unlike the rehab Physiotherapists I have been with, they only focus on pushing you to do their painful repetitive exercises and then making me feel bad when I was not making any progress with my ROM. I'll update you next time after seeing this private Physiotherapist. I really do hope they could help me alleviate the pain and the feeling of tightness on my both knees.
Oh, by the way, I've just realised... now that I don't attend the rehab PT sessions for 3 weeks now and only follow the BoneSmart approach after the MUA procedure, I was able to drive for 20 min straight earlier today without the normal pain that I used to get with just a 10 min drive. That's another progress I'm happy to consider. I think that's one way my knees are thanking me for not putting them anymore in too much pain during exercises at home.
