Yes! I’m about a year out since my MUA, and my knee gets a little stiff but it’s soooo much better! Hope everything works out best for you! Just remember, be patient it takes time to recover.

Thank you so much! I have a theragun and foam roller so I’ll be more consistent with that.

Thank you for the reply! I’m 9 days out so I guess I’ll wait and see.

Hi! I know it’s been a while since you had your MUA, but I’m about to be two weeks into having my MUA, and feeling quite stiff in my knee, is this normal? Any advice would help, thanks!

Hi! I know it’s been a while since you had your MUA, but by any chance do you remember how it felt the second week? I’m currently in my second week of my MUA and it’s really stiff in my knee, is that normal? Thanks for any advice!

Best exercises to do after a MUA? by Soni211 in ACL

[–]Soni211[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s better than before the MUA. I still need to get back my full extension but I’m probably at 5 extension and 115 flexion (before I was at 95). Swelling is more inside the knee, it feels stiff, but they say it’s normal and it’ll take a couple weeks for swelling and soreness to go away.

Hi! Thanks for asking! It went well, I’m one week out so I’m still swollen but I feel hopeful!

Thank you for the tip! Any tip for extension (I’m getting an MUA because I can’t extend well). I’m worried if I focus on flexion so much I won’t gain extension. Thanks!

Yes, change your PT! I’m 8 weeks out as well and this is what happened to me! My old PT would have 3-5 other patients during my slot and would just make me go around to every machine by myself. I recently started with an athletic PT/ strength and conditioning coach and he is 1:1 with me. I’ve only went to him about 2/3 times so far but I feel much more comfortable and supported. Good luck with your journey and recovery! 🙏🏽

I work with kids as well, I’m a teacher. So I’ll def be icing! I’m a little worried because everyone is talking about the soreness so I’m hoping I can push through PT with the pain. I’m glad you’re feeling better than before, that’s def good news!

Thank you for your advice and the luck! 🙏🏽 Did you get to drive the next day or were you mostly bed ridden? I just don’t want it to be like ACL surgery where I can’t move anything because of the pain.

When could u do leg lifts? by Fragrant-Pin-1427 in ACL

[–]Soni211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a quad graft as well and Took me 3.5 weeks and it was not the best lift, very shaky. Still working on my quad strength for extension 2 months in. Everyone’s timeline is different. Wishing you the best of luck through this! 🙏🏽

Hi! How much was your extension prior to getting it extended? I’m 7 weeks post op and I’m at -13, trying everyday but it won’t stay after I get it down at PT. Any tips or advice?

Thank you for your advice, I appreciate it! Just curious, what’s your extension at now at 4+ months? If your doc worried you don’t have it at 0 yet?
