With us – as with the predominant majority of radiation therapists – after appropriate consultation, an irritation is carried out with a total of 6 sessions, with 2-3 sessions per week, i.e. after 2-3 weeks the treatment is over. By the way, irradiation takes only a few seconds and is definitely not noticeable.

After (at the earliest) 2 months, the patient is asked for a look (we usually wait about 3 months) because the reaction to the irradiation -the improvement of the pain – can often take several weeks.

If the complaints are not – or are not sufficiently improved during the review, a second series with 6 sessions is offered/recommended.

My radiation therapist always plans 2 series a 5 irradiations from the beginning, which take place on 5 consecutive days. He did Ledderhose with the Haglund heel as well as with Dupuytrain and Morbus. So a total of five times

Räusper…

Then your radiation therapist should deal with the guidelines, which explicitly recommends other sequences for irritation.

And why should a second series be irradiated if the complaints are already gone after the first (you have to wait a little to find out)… Could be something “revenue-oriented”, the colleague(?)

M. Dupuytren / Ledderhose is again something GANZ different, namely NO irritation, especially antiproliferative… and with significantly higher dose. DA is actually irradiated on 5 consecutive working days and 2 series (distance of series several weeks) – or (other concept) on a total of 7 consecutive working days – but then only one series. (the 7-day concept is much less common)

I would have to be written ill about 3 weeks

— the question is, “what” three weeks?

Because: You will most likely not immediately receive a treatment date, as in radiotherapy the tumor patients first have priority.

The treatment itself takes only a few minutes in each case, but: – important – the effect usually occurs only after days – often even after a few weeks. (why the decision on a possibly meaningful second series should only be made after weeks)

So if the complaints do not allow you to work, you will not be able to get around an AU (inability to work), there is no short-term effective remedy.

Short-term possibilities can be, for example, anti-inflammatory drugs (such as ibuprofen), local anti-inflammatory syringes or also experimentally similar creams and/or shoe inserts (all very individually effective – or not).

Besides, I’m worried that I’m beginning to shine in the dark.

😉

Yes, I hear this “supply” more often…

But it hasn’t thanked me yet that he or she no longer has to clog the cellar light at the beer… ;-))

I hope I have no more chance to ask him if he might be a little redeemed, because I really can’t use more nubbles in any places. Besides, I’m worried that I’m beginning to shine in the dark.

These are usually two series. Five days in a row and after about six weeks again. It can take another moment until the complaints go away. Was made with me for a haglund heel and also helped.

Small correction:

There are not “mostly” two series, but only if the first series did not have the desired success. With us – and others well-known radiotherapy, clearly over 60% of patients after the first series are already so satisfied that no second is necessary.

But it’s nice that you – like many – helped this treatment well.

Hello, Beamer05. Too bad you turned off the comment function. My radiation therapist always plans two series from the beginning. The Haglund heel as well as the Dupuytrain contractor.

How… what… where…

I didn’t turn it off…

What do you mean?

Right. I clicked the wrong place before. Comes from the many irradiations ;o)
No bullshit, I’m really glad that helped, because I don’t find snippets on my hands and feet funny.

It sounds like an experiment…

Sounds like this, but is common practice and is also paid by the health insurance company. It actually helped me.

Why does it always sound like “experiment”…

It is a proven and effective method for decades (!) which is also the standard performance of all health insurance companies.
