Hi
I have been doing pt once a week for 9 months and I do it at home daily. It’s strange because some days it feels better and I can walk without a crutch and other days it feels like one leg is longer than the other. I feel as though my pelvis is tilted. I have scoliosis which may contribute as well. My right rotator cuff is torn as well. Do you have a full thickness tear? My mri showed a median tear about 2/3 torn. I never tried the stimulation. I already feel numbness in the glute somedays

I'm not sure about a "ful thinkness" tear, but I have a "high grade tear" of my glut medius tendon and a less severe tear of my glut minimus, plus hamstring tendon tears and a partial labral tear. A few weeks after my first set of shock therapy treatments, I could walk on flat surfaces well, and after my second set (5 months after the first), I could walk stairs and hills easily. It's worth trying - or at least being evaluated for that.
