Duck with severe Arthritis

We have six ducks and our Pekin Jax who is only Four years old has severe arthritis. We have been giving her baby pain medication but at this point she has lost a lot of weight and is starting to use her wings as crutches. It is very painful to watch. I had heard that ducks can get a shot in the leg to help with the inflamation and that helps the pain. Anyone know about this? Our ducks are pets and out of all of them she is the sweetest and most loving, we would hate to have to put her down but if there isn't anything else we can do for her we will have to. I refuse to leave her suffering as she seems to be in so much pain. Any advice would be appreciated.
