Does anyone have gluteal tendinopathy? Any successful treatments?

Hi. I've been taking gabapentin (300mg 3x a day). But after like 7 months of daily pain I am much, much better and I rhink it was the shock wave therapy.
I had 4 treatments about 2 months ago. Physiatrist said it could take 2-3 months to get full benefit.
My problems stem from L5/S1 issue, which may have finally resolved on its own.
But I do recommend the shock wave treatment. I waz icicing hip/buttock constantly. Now rarely if ever.

Yes, shock therapy helped me greatly, too. I'm now able to hike in the hills around my home without pain, whereas I hadn't been able to walk at all without serious pain for 13 months.
Also had an excellent physical therapist, and I'd worked diligently on specific, focused exercises, but the shock therapy started the all rolling.
