My Fuschias Are Very Sick -fungus? pest?

In a large pot. The leaves curl then balls/masses appear. It started last autumn. I sprayed with insecticide then cut it down to 1cm then sprayed again and sprayed the compost around it. It flowered beautifully then about 6 weeks after first flowering this came back. It’s now affecting other pots.
