Most joint injections are quick and easy to perform. The clinician will first examine your joint to find the best place to inject. Next, the skin around the area for injection will be cleaned.
The injection will usually include local anaesthetic either given separately at the beginning or mixed in the same syringe as the steroid.
After the steroid is injected the needle will be taken out. Once the needle is in place, the whole injection will take around 30 seconds. The whole visit will take approximately 20 minutes.
