Ok, look, I posted on this more than once now, so I'm gonna do this again - for the last time I hope.

1) I have been using adequan for the last 3 weeks - 200mg every 5 days
2) Dosing is anywhere from 2 to 4 mg/kg of body weight - many articles in the veterinary literature on that.
3) Adequan is the same drug as Arteparon which is approved in europe for human use - polysulfated glucosaminoglycan (PSGAG)
4) Adequan helps with CARTILAGE damage - it DOES NOT - I repeat DOES NOT - directly help with ligament or tendon damage (e.g. tendonitis)
5) My joints are feeling progressively better, mostly my shoulders and knees. I believe it is healing me, but it could also be an increase in synovial fluid in the joints as adequan dose promote that as well.
6) The equine and canine versions are identical, just sold differently, canine says 100mg/ml, equine says 500mg/5ml..... duh they are both 100mg/ml.
7) Typical dosing regime in animals (horses) is 28 days (they shoot all 500mg at once, and do it once a week)
8) Adequan is intramuscular - not intraarticular, thank god
9) Despite this, there is anecdotal evidence that IM injections closer to the joint may work better - although most of the effect is systemic, I suppose some local effects may occur (like thru the lymphatic fluid transport, etc - I'm guessing here)
10) I have been using this with GH (3IU ED), thats it, no AAS at present.

I hope this helps.

Hey Guys,
I have been on testosterone therapy for about 3 months. 3cc's every three weeks. Can this small amount cause joint pain? My doctor doesn't think that's what causing the pain. I haven't taken time off from training in along time. I'm doing just cardio now to see if the pain eases up. Has anybody had joint pain from test? I'd hate to have to stop because everything else feels great. But I also hate popping advil all the time.

 

[bigdan]

started my adequan this morning 100mg in each delt

also gonna use some glucosamine,chondriton,msm and know gelatin

I think these supplements will aid the adequan in repairing the prob

Keep us posted Doc.
A year or so ago this was the rave on Anabolex I know several that tried it and got some joint relief, but it wasn't permanent and plus the cost and side effects weren't that great.
Foamy urine and other things like the painful injection sites.
I may go back and research it-but am tired right now.
Take care and thanks for the feedback.

About your point number 8 regarding intramuscular and intraarticular. The info I got recommended intra-articular.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION: The recommended dose of Adequan® in horses is 500mg (1 vial) once a week for five weeks, intra-articularly. The joint area must be shaved, cleansed and sterilized as in a surgical procedure prior to injection. Do not mix Adequan® with other drugs or solvents.

Adequan

Disregard my last post. There are two versions and the one we are talking about is strictly IM. Is there a site someone has ordered from successfully without a script? The ones I looked at require a prescription.
