Has anyone had any experience with prolotherapy for a knee injury?

Looks like a minimally invasive treatment for a knee injury.  Looked at a video, and think I would try this in place of surgery for my torn meniscus, if it gets to that point.  Has to be a lot better than taking anti-inflammatory meds for an extended period too.

Well I'm trying it to see if it will help a medial miniscus tear. A bit more affordable 150.00 per series of injection than what surgery would be.
N.D. suggests three treatments to see how it goes.
 
Take me to the scene of the crime. And bring that tiny ad:
