What Are The Side Effects Of Prolotherapy?

I had knee replacement surgery 1 year ago & am still having a lot of pain. The Dr. Has suggested Prolotheapy. Do you know if there are any side effects to this shot? My concern is that I am very prone to yeast infections. I am now just getting over one after 4 weeks.

Prolotherapy done with blood constituents like PRP have no major side effects. Pain, mild inflammation may be there at initial stages but should calm down and help in healing.
