hi, has anyone who is triply positive for APS been given the OK for shockwave therapy. I’ve got non-traumatic fractures that haven’t healed after almost 5 months on crutches and it’s been suggested I give it a try. Anyone know if it’s contraindicated? Or had great success with it?

I tried to get it but couldn’t find anyone to do it. I just feel like I keep having doors closed on treatment options 😢

whereabouts are you? There is a lovely guy who does it just outside Andover, Mark Stockwell, an Osteopath.

Hi I’ve had shockwave on my Achilles tendon. It definitely helped. I didn’t think to ask just did it.

Please make sure that your Haematologist is involved in any decision making! I am sure you can have a conversation with them, which is important: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl... MaryF
