Hi, So I posted a few weeks back about my 5 year old horse's sudden odd action behind, and he's now been diagnosed with PSD in both hinds. Ultrasound showed only minor swelling in both and very slight fibre disruption in the left hind. He's had a cortisone shot into his left Hind and had his first shockwave. He'll have another 2 shockwaves over the next 4 weeks before we re-evaluate and see where we're at. Vet has said not to discount the surgery regardless as we don't know what has caused it, so we don't know how likely it is to recur. So I have millions of questions, so I'll start with a few year: What has your experience with Bilateral Hind PSD been - all stories wanted! Di you find another issue that had caused the PSD - if so, what was it? For those that have had shockwave only - how far out are you from treatment, and what's the current situation with your horses? Has it recurred at all? For those who had the surgery - how far out are you, and what made you decide to go for the surgery? Have you had any complications or issues since? Also, how much did the surgery cost? Also with the surgery - does anyone know if the nerve grows back, or if there's a 'shelf life' to this sort of surgery? He's also barefoot but the vet has suggested I put four shoes with bars behind to support his weak Hind heels - any opinions on this? I'd rather keep him barefoot if possible but I'm open to suggestions. Thank you for any help!
