Does anyone have gluteal tendinopathy? Any successful treatments?

Posted by bunstuffer @bunstuffer, Mar 11, 2025

I have gluteal tendinopathy and am getting to the point that I can hardly walk. I've been to 8 doctors and had injections of several kinds to no benefit. I've been to physical therapy at least 10 times with very little benefit (I must have done 10,000 "clam shells" and "bridges").
The only thing that helps some and gives me a few hours of reduced pain is hydrocodone. I don't know if there's any point in pursuing more treatment.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Chronic Pain Support Group.

Is this a treatment or permanent fix?

To what are you referring?

I had a platelet ich plasma injection abut 3 weeks ago at an ortho clinic. No results.

You have to wait longer for PRP results - sometimes 8 to 12 weeks. Patience wins!
Also, have you tried shock therapy (EPAT)??? That allowed me to walk without pain when I couldn't for 13 months.
