Biceps Tendinitis

Hello,
I work for physiatrists, one of which recently diagnosed me with bicipital tendinitis.  The only problem is, everything he has recommended does nothing - I have tried ibuprofen 400mg three times daily, ice four times daily, and am now on Celebrex 200mg twice daily (does just increased from one daily yesterday).    The only thing that temporarily takes the edge off is ice.
Has anyone heard of PRP treatment (platelet rich plasma)?  I am trying to find out success rates of this treatment.  I also need to know if insurance covers it and cost if it does not.
Any help/advice will be greatly appreciated.  I am desperate.
Jean
