MUA New Knee #2 Recovery<

[Txmomgmom3]

Are you having any luck finding another surgeon to look at it? You have suffered long enough . I can't even imagine the frustration

 

[Jockette]

I have 2 names, one in Maryland and one in Pennsylvania. I dread going through this again.

My deductible starts over in January.

 

[Txmomgmom3]

I bet you do. My deductible too starts over in January. Ugg

 

[Jockette]

My deductible will be much better next year, so that’s good.

When you have a MUA, that sets your recovery back to almost the beginning again. So, count your recovery now from Dec. 13, 2018. Keep icing and elevating and resting as much as possible. In the meantime, hopefully, Josephine can help you.

 

[Txmomgmom3]

@sistersinhim I was doing ok until the incident yesterday. I just dont get it. Unless its just a delayed reaction to the MUA? I'm so bewildered as to what that popping was and why the knee has just stopped bending. It freaked me out when it happened and it just keeps getting worse. I've elevated and iced pretty much all day today so maybe tomorrow it will be a little better. Thank you for the advice. This right knee has been a real diva..worse than the left one!

 

[sistersinhim]

I think you should call your doctor. Something doesn't sound right and it's best to get it checked out.

 

[Larryhg3]

I am with sistersinhim that noise followed by intense pain doesn’t sound good. I would reach out to your OS.

Wow! Catching up on posts and sorry you’re having more trouble. Please keep us posted.
I hope you can have a break from pain to enjoy Christmas.
I agree to call your doc. Let’s hope 2019 brings us all better recoveries.

 

[Txmomgmom3]

I will call his office on Wednesday. They are closed until then for the Christmas holiday.

@sistersinhim thank you for the good advice you always give me

@Larryhg3 thank you for your reply.

@beachy yes let's hope 2019 gets better for us! How's your husband doing?

 

[sistersinhim]

Hopefully, by Wednesday it'll be much better.

 

[Jockette]

Hopefully, by Wednesday it'll be much better.

I agree!!!

Happy to report I measured 120/0 so he is very pleased. Said I had quite a few adhesions.

Duh! They're always saying that and it's juts stupid. If you had adhesions you wouldn't have a great ROM like that!

there was a loud pop on the left side of the knee

Show where you had this pop and pain. 'Left side' is not explicit enough for me.

 

[Jockette]

If you had adhesions you wouldn't have a great ROM like that!

Question,
Does this mean that during an MUA actual adhesions would have taken a lot of effort to break and he wouldn’t have gotten 120 right then?

In a span of 6 days my rom went from 115 back down to 85 and the extension is +15. I had the stomach flu over the weekend so obviously haven't been overdoing it. OS is at a loss and I'm disgusted.

This was written a week before the MUA. What would cause this much of a reduction of ROM?

 

[Jockette]

It's inflammation/swelling. Most ROM problems are due to that but I've never yet heard a surgeon include it in his list of probabilities.

Well, I just found this, so it answers my question.

 

[beachy]

He's better, but very tired. Thanks for asking!

 

[Txmomgmom3]

@Josephine it is rf2/d and e area.

 

[Dolly Girl]

Don't be afraid to say no. They'll get over it.

 

[Josephine]

No. It means she didn't have adhesions in the first place!

This was written a week before the MUA. What would cause this much of a reduction of ROM?

Swelling.

RF2 D and E area.

That's probably inflammation of one or more of these structures Pes Anserine and MPFL pain

@Josephine thank you for your help once again! Merry Christmas :chris-win::reindeersleigh:merry christmas:
