Repetitive use injury causes convective tissue to become slack. Often times it is not possible to recover, even though more recently things like stem cell therapy. Peptides and HGH can improve circumstances.

Increases in muscular build and strength provides a way to stabilize the joint... but is a slow and methodical process... sometimes unweighted work or lighter weights with increased reps.

Neoprene sleeves or braces can help put a joint in proper orientation for exercise or increase stability while working or working out.

Even if surgery becomes necessary, having strength built aids in recovery.

My experience has been that surgery very seldom increases capability... at best it can stabilize... but requires a dedicated rehabilitation program to avoid a cascading failure which I think you're experiencing as one repair passes stress to another point.

I'm not a medical professional. Just a high mileage guy who doesn't trust doctors and has had to figure stuff out.
The reason I asked is the doc said he was going to prescribe a brace to wear daily so I was curious
