@dove123 It is unless you have to do many treatments over different areas with Shockwave. I have seen packages in my area about as much as one PRP. I have thought about Softwave and/or Shockwave but also worry that if I have declining collagen in tendons, how long with this treatment last. How long will PRP last? Both are a crapshoot but trying to weigh the options.

@loyd1957 I go for shockwave #7 on Thursday. It has helped me be able to use my foot but when I'm on it any length of time, then I have to get off my feet. But at least the debilitating pain is not there. I wonder too about damage to soft tissue that the xrays would not show. I byapssed the cortisone shot option because it's just a temporary fix, then you can rebound worse than ever once the shot wears off. Apparently, pf is quite common because everyone I mention it to either has it or has had it. We went shoe shopping today and the mgr of the shoe store said he's been dealing with it for 10 years. Oh great. : (
