You are off track!: There is no such medicine which can help ligaments. With proper rest and exercises as guided by your orthopedic doctor the ligaments will heal but do not go off track into unconventional treatments.

Platelet Rich Plasma: There is not much good data that I am aware of showing that prolotherapy is effective. PRP or platelet rich plasma is showing effectiveness in small studies for several indications. These include: Facial rejuvenation, hair regrowth, sexual rejuvenation, arthritis and musculoskeletal injuries, and more. Based on my experience, I recommend PRP therapy.
