Multiple shoulder dislocations and inherent ligament laxity. physical therapy for a year, but still sublaxating. surgery or prolotherapy?

Surgery: I would go with the surgery at this point. Your main concern is lack of stability which drives your pain. Once your shoulders are stable, there will be a lot easier to control pain, which would be the main reason for prolotherapy.
