Never been shown to contribute to joint generation? Did you even read the Mayo Clinic link? I assume you'd be more knowledgeable than orthopaedics at the Mayo Clinic and Yale?

At least 6 months in between injections. I'll assume one of the best surgeons in the state had no clue what he was talking about.
