Gluteal tendinopathy - endless pain - losing my mind

Hi there, and I'm so sorry you've having such pain. I got relief by carefully doing specific isometric exercises as well as SLOWLY doing reps, in addition to Shock Therapy (i.e., EPAT: Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology), which turned the corner for me, allowing me to walk with no or minimal pain. And, you've got to be patient; my gluteal tendinopathy started 13 months ago after my first and only COVID episode, of which I feel it's a sequela.

Hi, thanks for your message. Good to hear shockwave therapy has helped. I'm supposed to be having it after 3 weeks with a TENS machine to desensitise the area. I hadn't heard of isometric exercises and have been looking into it. I've been told to do exercises clenching my buttocks and to do the 'bridge' which makes my back ache. Thanks for your positive advice.
