In addition to a left knee that never really recovered properly from surgery on my meniscus, I have developed Haglund’s deformity in my right heel I also have calcification of the Achilles tendon and I believe calcaneal bursitis. Net net, my orthopedist at California orthopedics and spine, is recommending a speed bridge repair but told me very openly that PRP might help. I’ve already had many courses of shockwave with my current chiropractor in Marin county but it was excruciating in many instances and ultimately had diminishing returns.  As for my “sport,” I am a first-degree black belt in the Nia technique and really would like an opportunity to teach some classes but I’m too disabled.
