Starting Shockwave

I had an initial consultation on Tuesday and began the treatment on Thursday. The plan is to do one session per week for six weeks, with a one week break in the middle. The machine is the Storz Duolith SD-1, which as far as I know, is the only Li-ESWT device approved for the USA. The protocol is a burst of 300 on the perineum then four bursts along the left and four on the right. The first session is at a strength of 20 which was a little tingly but not painful. We'll go to 25 next week.
From my research, and affirmed by the Urologist, I should be an ideal candidate. We shall see. I classify my ED as mild/moderate and I usually respond to Sildenafil. I'm going to continue pumping regularly to keep the blood flowing. I'm also evaluating PRP as a future modality after the results of the ESWT are understood.
