I so hope the shock therapy will help you, Kathy. I didn’t think my three treatments had helped, but finally, after about 6 or 8 weeks post treatment, I had less pain and better mobility.
A few months later, I had another set of 3 and improved (again, after several weeks) so that now I can climb stairs and walk in hills pretty easily.
Let me know how it goes for you. 🤞

Hello... I have had the pain (glutes and hips... it radiates down my leg to just above my knee) for years now. It is definitely depressing to have these limitations. I've also had several steroid shots--one helped and the last one was incredibly painful afterwards (I had to use a cane for several days!). I won't do that again. I've done PT multiple times which provides a little help... until it doesn't. I take Mobic daily, which is an arthritis medication. This helps me tolerate the pain, usually, but it's never gone. I have Tramadol for emergency use, like when I am traveling and cannot rest for two days! I'm very interested in the shock therapy treatment you've had. How did you get the treatment (who prescribed this for you)? I am on Medicare and have a Plan G supplement--was your treatment covered? Who actually does the treatment? I appreciate, very much, any additional info. Thank you.
