Ok convince me shockwave is a terrible idea?

One of the newer treatments for ED, Shock Wave Therapy is still in it's experimental stages. While the treatment often sounds promising, it is only effective for a few patients and the results are not permanent. Informed Consumers are the best patients!

My urologist offered it as 1of 4 potential options. I elected to try pils and shockwave.
At $350/session and 7 sessions, I got 0 results.

$350 per session is on the low side. Are you sure it was focused shockwave? Do you know the machine model# ?

Low side depends on where you live.
I believe it was a Storz machine, but model number? I wasnt taking notes.
Urologist office, medical grade ESWT. Wasn’t the cheap kind. Had to be numbed for each procedure.
