Good grief!! What a knowledgeable bunch we are!!
I often refer to the fora as the house of knowledge and this is
another case of QED!
Actually Lithotripsy is not confined to kidney stones.LOML has
to have it performed on her left shoulder due to calcification of
the tendon. The calcification is the result of a past injury.
Normally the calcification it removed with a syringe. It is broken
into small pieces that are sucked into the syringe and disposed
off.A cortisone injection is then given to delay or prevent a
recurrence. This is not always effective
After four treatments LOML has to have Lithotripsy . It will be a
course of at least three blasts spread over about 2-3 weeks.
