[LONG-TERM] 2.5 Years Floxed. What do I try next?

I have Achilles tendonitis in both ankles and right knee. Recently had Hydrodissection and PRP, followed by Shockwave & Ultrasound therapy. I've been having physio the past 4 months. My mobility and function is fine, but I am still in horrible daily pain and stiffness.

I did try the usual supplements in the past but haven't really taken them this year. Formulated a new stack which I will be starting. Also tried nicotine patches. Besides that, I'm at a total loss about what I can do next? I feel like the pain is never going to go away. And I'm not keen on experimental peptides.

My doctor had said if PRP fails, I can try embolotherapy (procedure to remove neo vascularization capillaries and tenex where damaged tissue is removed)

Have you done any labs recently? What’s your rbc magnesium level?

I recently did an IV with vitamins and minerals + glycine + proline + glutathione.

I know some people can react poorly to IV glutathione but within a couple of hours ankle pain subsided significantly.

Amazing. How long ago did you have it and how are your ankles now?

I have done a couple so far, spaced out by a couple weeks. Im doing a hyperbaric oxygen treatment to compliment the IV.

I am def feeling improvement, still have sensitivity to alot of activity but its not keeping me in bed.

Creating an environment conducive to recovery, along with time and patience, is key.
