Anybody tried Adequan injections for joints?

Prior to just this last week, and for the last 14 months I have been injecting IM. However upon advice from my very well trusted source I have been experminting with direct injection. I pinch up the skin at the upper inside corner of my patella and shoot in at the base of the pinched up mass. When using this method I only use 1/4 cc. So far I am very happy doing it this way. (I use a slin pin but put the needle it till I feel it bounce off my patella. You will know when you hit it, it kinda wakes you up.)

YES it does. I've had a 16g needle jammed 2" into my knee to pull out fluid on many occasions, and the local anesthetic is worthless.
I haven't tried any direct (intraarticular) injections of Adequan, but if I can find some material written on it, I might give it a go.
Just a word about that though: I am of the understanding that knee joints are very easily infected, and it requires a more sterile environment to do that kind of injection, vs. intramuscular whereby a healthy person has very little risk of tissue infection.

Thanks for the heads up bro! The protocol that I follow for all injection is as follow,
Heat vial-to reduce pain.
Wipe vial top with alcolhol for 15 seconds.
Wipe injection site the same.
Repeat 2 more times.
Of course always wash hand thouroly with soap and water too.
