Shockwave therapy in Australia?

Post by ElizaM »

Has anyone tried shockwave therapy? Is it even available in Australia for treatment of the pudendal nerve? I just read about a lady in Canada getting great relief from it.
PN Left sided started April 2013 after TVT sling surgery for stress incontinence. Nov 2013 surgery reviewed by another surgeon and sling removed as found to be incorrectly inserted on left side. Pain gradually increased. 2014 Prof Vancaille diagnosed PN. PT, nerve blocks, botox, pulsed radio frequency tried with no success. PNE diagnosed by MRI result. July 2015 Pudendal nerve release surgery with Prof Theiry Vancaille and Dr Loefler.

A physiotherapist once mentioned to me about an internal tens machine. Not sure if that would be the same thing but could be looked into.
