i routinely give myself (well have my techs give me because im too chicken to do it myself) injections of adequan.
adequan is glucosamine and is superior to all other straight glucosamine preperations. i have tried several of the generics and nothing has worked as well. i have recently added pentosan for soft tissues and between the two i manage to get.
the humidity has been terrible lately with no rain. it is killing my joints. usually when it is dry i can go 3-4 weeks before things hurt so bad that i have to man up and get the shot in the butt but with this humidity i am having to go every other week and should probably brave them weekly.
we had ordered some polyglycan for a client and they never came in and picked it up. polyglycan is glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate and hylaronic acid. there is no better synergistic activity than chondroitin sulfate with glucosamine. i have used it extensively in joint injections with depo so it thought, what the hell, debbie, stop being a baby and try it.
each ml contains 100mgs of glucosamine
100mgs of chondroitin
0.5mg of hylaronic acid
i had jenn give me a 2.5cc of polyglycan. there was absolutely no pain associated with injection other than jenn moving the needle around my thumb on my left hand was extremely painful yesterday and it continued to bother me all day. i was kind of bummed when i went to bed that i was still having sharp pains in it when i moved it. i woke up this morning and it and my wrists and all the rest of my joints feel pretty darn good.
there is nothing that is going to make chronic arthritic conditions go away or stop hurting completely but every little bit helps. i can tell you that right now i am thinking that from now on im going to use polyglycan. i will keep you all updated on how it goes over the next few weeks.
