how can i heal myself??

Hi, i have had pain in the inside of my right lower tricep. The pain started about 5 months ago after a day of lifting weights and then playing basketball. The pain was very mild at first and i kept on playing basketball and lifting thinking that it wasn't anything serious and that i could work through it. But it very slowly got more painfull until i realized i should probably stop. So i didn't lift or play ball all summer, however i was working as a dishwasher so i had to use the arm for that. For the past few months I have been taking two or three weeks rest, ice, take ibuprofen, and then try and slowly ease my way back into lifting. But i always get the same result, slowly the pain will return. I have had x-rays, been to two physical therapists, an orthopedist (who gave me 3 weeks of prescription anti inflamitory pills which didnt work). both the orthopedist and PT told me that i don't have tendonitis bu most likely minor fasciitis. Anyway i'm extremely frustrated, i very badly want to be able to lift again without worrying about it, but after 5 months of this i'm beginning to lose faith that i will ever heal which is a very unsettling concept. If anyone can help me with this i would really appreciate it, and be soo gratefull.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections have been useful for a variety of soft tissue injuries, both acute and chronic.  A sample of the patients blood is centrifuged to harvest contrated platelets.  Platelets contain growth factors. These concentrated growth factors are then injected into the injury to induce a healing response.
