Susannah Drazin replied to Peter Williams's discussion 15 Years living with PF - help please!"I have just had the first of a series of weekly laser treatments courtesy of the NHS.

Joanne Hollmann replied to Peter Williams's discussion 15 Years living with PF - help please!"Hi Judi. If it's convenient for you to do so, go ahead and see if there are any doctors or offices in the Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky area. But only if it isn't a lot of bother. I will probably wait to see if you get…"
jb replied to Peter Williams's discussion 15 Years living with PF - help please!"HI- Silly questions is magneto therapy that helped you just the traditional ultra sound that can be found in a PT office (has the wand and it goes over the bottom of the foot repeatedly?) When you say you did it immediately AFTER, do you mean…"
