People with knee pain due to arthritis, injury or wear and tear.
Medicine placed in the joint can settle a painful flare.
Less pain can make walking and physiotherapy easier.
The injection is given in the clinic. It is not an operation.
Most patients walk afterwards and rest the knee that day.
Relief may last weeks or months. It varies from person to person.
An injection can postpone surgery. It does not replace it when the knee is severely worn.

Medicine is placed into the knee joint to reduce inflammation and pain. It is considered when tablets, exercise, and bracing have not given enough relief.
A steroid injection can settle a flare. Hyaluronic acid and platelet-rich plasma are sometimes used for longer symptom relief. The choice depends on your knee and your medical history.
Steroid relief may last from a few weeks to a few months. Other injections vary from person to person. An injection does not regrow lost cartilage, and it is repeated only when that is appropriate.
The knee is examined, the skin is cleaned, and the injection is given in the clinic. Most patients walk afterwards. Rest the knee that day and follow the activity advice you are given.
