@2020Tracy I know this frustration with your ROM, I really do.
My flexion was stuck under 90 until I had my MUA at about 9 weeks. After the MUA, I got up to 110, but have struggled since then to maintain 100. The MUA has left me in more pain, with more swelling, but I do have more flexion. I just feel liked I’m recovering from a skiing injury, without the fun of the skiing.
If you are considering an MUA, make sure, for your situation, that an MUA is indicated when you’ve already reached better than 100 on your own. I wouldn’t have done it if I had reached 100 degrees on my own.
I agree with Jaycey that you sound like you are progressing well, and you need reassurance that you will keep progressing. There are many recovery accounts on BoneSmart that show the many paths to 120 degrees of flexion and even better indicators of wholeness. We are all on different schedules, but so many of us seem to get there.

. Hang in there and be patient- you are doing just fine. Baby steps!
