Gluteal tendinopathy - endless pain - losing my mind
Chronic Pain | Last Active: 3 days ago | Replies (64)Comment receiving replies
I, like you, have increasing hip pain - a horrible burning sensation. I thought I had bursitis for years, but following a recent MRI have been diagnosed with gluteal tendinopathy and hamstring tendonitis. I've just spoken to my local physio clinic and they offer shockwave therapy. They reckon you need 3 to 4 sessions and it has good results. Have you tried it?

I have had two sets of Shockwave Therapy (EPAT: Extracorporeal Pulse ActivationTechnology), with good results. About 6 weeks after the first three sessions, each separated by a week, at Stanford Health Care in Emeryville, CA, I was finally able to walk on flat surfaces without excruciating pain - and that, up to 6 miles a day. I underwent a second set of three sessions about four months later to see if it would help mitigate pain while ascending stairs or inclines, since I live in the hills. I think that has helped slightly. I'm scheduled for PRP (Plate Rich Plasma) injections on Jan 20 and 27th. Fingers crossed.
