💉 What are steroid joint injections, and how do they work?

Steroid joint injections involve the precise delivery of medication into a joint to reduce pain and inflammation. The injection typically includes a steroid (anti-inflammatory) and a local anaesthetic to provide both immediate and longer-term relief by reducing swelling and irritation inside the joint.

🦴 What conditions can be treated with joint injections?

These injections are commonly used to manage pain and inflammation from:

  • Osteoarthritis

  • Rheumatoid arthritis

  • Bursitis

  • Tendonitis

  • Other musculoskeletal and inflammatory joint conditions

🏥 What should I expect during the procedure?

The procedure is carried out in a clinical setting by a trained professional. Here’s what to expect:

  1. The skin over the joint will be cleaned thoroughly.

  2. A local anaesthetic is used to numb the area.

  3. The clinician will then carefully inject the steroid—often combined with the anaesthetic—directly into the joint.
    The process is typically quick and well tolerated, with most patients able to return home shortly after.

⏱️ How long does it take to feel relief after a joint injection?

The timeline for symptom relief can vary. Some patients feel immediate improvement due to the local anaesthetic, while others may notice the full effects of the steroid within a few days. Maximum benefit is often seen within 1 to 2 weeks.

📝 Are there any aftercare instructions following a joint injection?

Yes. Your clinician will provide specific post-procedure advice tailored to your treatment and joint involved. General guidance may include:

  • Avoiding strenuous activity for 24–48 hours

  • Monitoring for any side effects (e.g., temporary soreness or swelling)

  • Following up if symptoms persist or worsen
    Proper aftercare helps optimise results and reduce the risk of complications.
