gluteal tendinopathy with tendon and muscle tears

I would definitely like to try the Softwave or Shockwave therapy. I understand it rejuvenates the cells in the collagen and brings life back to the tendons. I have mild tear in both glutes but not sure after 3 years if they have gotten bigger or more tears. No one seems to want to do another MRI to compare. I wish I could just order one myself and pay cash which I hear sometimes less than using insurance.

@loyd1957 Hi Lloyd, There seems to be a huge difference between the attitude of American medicine and European medicine. I have a physiotherapist who is Italian and was a principal ballet dancer. He said the first thing Europeans do is an MRI for comparisons to see if it's better or worse in order to provide the most accurate treatment. VS the United States, which says, "We don't really know what's going on, but let's treat the symptoms—do PT, take drugs, get an injection; it's all just a shot in the dark." "I admit I am jaded.
