Same here. I have been talked by a sports medicine doc into undergoing prolo, prp, and eventually stem cell injections for almost a year. No noticeable improvement whatsoever. Only made the pain worse. No reputable clinical trials to show efficacy or even safety. Stay away.
There is very solid research that supports treatments for central sensitization, which almost always accompanies chronic pain and makes it much worse. They won’t make all the pain go away, but will reduce it significantly.
E.g.
Central sensitization syndrome: Diagnosis, symptoms, and more
I found that the Curable app works best for me but there are many others.

I would check out treatments for central sensitization before any infections or surgery. What do you have to loose? There’re no side effects and very little costs. Good luck!
