Hi Laurie, Would you shock wave a carpus? Her teres and triceps seem sore, so I will u/s and shock wave her shoulder but I was wondering about the carpus as well. Previously I have tried it on a hock but it wasn't very well tolerated and not very useful.Thanks! Edited to add: I just watched your v ...

Yup on antinol magnesium and collagen
Would fit with response to nsaids too.
Thanks!

Discussed that may be either orthopedic or neurological, and could potentially be both. Some of the signs that she describes and also clinical exam findings may su...
