    I am sorry you are feeling alone with this but I think you might be a bit of a pioneer here. I cant remember anyone else having shockwave therapy and I've been here for a long time.

    I did an internet search (shockwave therapy nhs) and got some medical research and this

    https://www.mkuh.nhs.uk/patient-information-leaflet/shockwave-therapy

    That was about it sorry.

    Of you think its maki g your knee worse you should say so. It might be that your knee is over compensating of course while the ankle is rested???

    Sending you my support

    Toni xx
