New FS procedure- Hydroplasty, My experience...
Posted , 9 users are following.
Hi all, I'm new to this group, but I thought I'd share. I had a new (& hard to find info on) procedure for my FS called a hydroplasty. It is sort of a combination of hydrodilation and MUA only you are awake- for EVERYTHING. The injection part wasn't so bad. My ortho stated my adhesions were very thick and tight, but you could feel the 'pop'. Then came the manipulation. I wanted to die. I was lying there with tears streaming down my face, writhing in pain for some parts, and the PT kept saying "just a little further". For me, it was barbaric. I would rather have been sedated (I think it would have been more effective that way, too- the body relaxes and doesn't fight against the pain). VERY sore at home. And now "aggressive PT" for 5 days straight. And I have only gained about 5° improvement.
I'm happy to answer any questions.

I see now that you are eager to return to a very physical job. My thawing took three long years so that would not have worked for you. Still think your procedure should have been done with you being put out for a while. No need to experience such pain when there are alternatives. I wonder if people who haven't had this problem (like the doctors, etc) realize the true extent of pain.
