Have had PF for almost 2 yrs. in both feet. Had 7 coritsone shots between both feet, then physical therapy, then unsuccessful EPF surgery in May. Just finished orthotripsy on one foot (3 times) and started on the next once. No relief yet, but I'm hoping. The Dr. says 6-12 weeks healing after the 3 shocks are done per foot. Anyone else have success with it?
