If you have a good person doing it it doesn’t hurt. You only feel the pressure. I did have a doctor hit the bone and broke the needle. That was not a good experience. My new person is terrific.
It's tolerable. Just practice deep breathing 😉💪 it is an unusual feeling. A couple times I've felt a little faint after and I just ask for a few minutes to stay on the table.
I’ve had cortisone injections in my knee. It was not extremely painful, wasn’t totally pain free but just feeling like a vaccine type pain. Not bad. Worth the pain relief it brings.
I have both knees injected at the same time, every 4 months for over 3 years. No big deal at all. Barely even uncomfortable. And there's been little more damage to my knees in those 3 years. My Dr. does the method with the knee straight. He even had students come in and do my injections a couple of times, that didn't hurt either. Without the injections I wouldn't be walking, and I don't want replacement if it's not absolutely mandatory, so every 4 months works for me!!
Have you heard about stem cell injections for knee pain? It's a new treatment option some doctors are offering. You might want to ask your doctor if it's something they recommend for your situation. They can provide a longer relief from your knee pain.
I get knee injections with a timed released medication about every 3 months. My PA uses a numbing spray on the skin before the injection. I only have a little discomfort (not pain) as the medication goes in. That little discomfort is well worth the almost 3 months of no knee pain!
I've had both knees done twice and am getting my third set of injections in the morning. The pain of the injection is so insignificant it's hardly noticeable and is over in less than a second - literally! I find that the pain relieving effect lasts about 9 months or so and wears off gradually so I get a sort of 'gentle warning' that I need to book in for more injections. For anyone worried about the pain, don't worry about it. Don't look at the injection as it's going into your knee as this accentuates the perception of 'upcoming pain', makes your muscles tense and can make you flinch, thinking that you're about to experience something unpleasant. It's SO not worth giving any of your attention to, the pain is over as soon as you initially notice it.😊 (I've also had 3 rounds of steroid injections in both wrists for carpal tunnel syndrome. Same pain level as the knee injections (almost nothing!) and the painkilling effect lasts about 10 - 12 months after each injection)
had this done yesterday and I totally agree. The needle sensation is comparable to any vaccination or even less painful. I was really anxious before, so my tactic was to avoid looking at the needle at all costs and it worked. The other thing may be the unpleasant sensation of the fluid going in and "expanding" the joint, but at least you can think "oh yeah it's the goody soothing fluid!" I could walk home immediately after the procedure.
I've had two injections with almost no pain, my surgeon is amazing. I limped in and after I felt so good I could have danced out of the clinic. Absolutely recommend
I just had both my knees done. Not at once but 1 week from each other. They laid me flat on the bed, put a pillow to bend my knee. I was at first terrified but the Docs are right when they said “ It didn’t hurt as bad as I thought it was going to”. The pain in my knees were far worse than the needle.
@@cececat9549 Can you tell me how much pain you had after PRP and were you unable to bend and straighten your legs? I have a patient who, after two days, still has a lot of pain in the joint and cannot bend or straighten his leg. Please help me in this matter
I have had gel injections for OA in my knee. My Dr gives some freezing then the injections. Pain free. Only warning he gives me is... please don't kick me lol. So far so good, he's fine.
What if the problem is more on the inside of the knee ? I definitely think doctors , nurses and other medical professionals should practice on each other and take all the tests that they require their patients to take.
I totally agree with Linda B. .. I get cortisol injections on my knees as needed. The “spray” you are talking about is nitrogen freeze..it numbs the area where the doctor is injected. Love my orthopedic surgeons…
You bet it hurts 100%!!!!!!!!!!! I have bone on bone and no cartilage left. It's not the needle going in (just like the video) but when the medication (Kenalog) is pushed in. It brings tears to my eyes!!!!! I need both knees replaced but because I'm overweight, they won't do it so I'm stuck. I can't run or exercise due to the bones grinding together and that causes excessive pain. Before my hips were replaced I also had injections but they didn't hurt near like the knee.
Hi Lynnette. That is a bit odd, Sometimes a longer needle is needed so that the tip is in a space rather than in the tissue. Best of luck to you. Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing with someone if you did.
if it hurts that bad YOU need surgery dont complain get my first shots im knees in used to pain neck back sugery oral other issues . so anything might help i do it. takes older folks heal v longer least not sugery yet. pain doc with me 12yrs i trust him. i dont talk about it no one wants to hear it. good luck prayers for all
I had those combined (1) freeze, and (2) poke-mon on the right knee for double-digit-YEARS; was so blessed to receive an issue-free knee replacement about four-years ago. One of the students asked the professor, "This guy's got scars all over his body; instead of stapling him and leaving the traditional scar, may I suture instead?" Go for it. I cannot believe the small, un-noticable, hair-line scar. Job well done. I am able to walk 3-5 miles a day, without issue, and after surviving fourteen (14) left total hip procedures, I'm so happy to be walking pain-free!!! 👌
Thanks for the insight. Even with a bit of pain the ultimate goal is to improve the condition of the knee or, in my case, the hip which wasn't painful at all. Great video as always.
Hi D. You don’t need to wear gloves if you maintain a clean injection site. The alcohol kills superficial bacteria and the needle is sterile. The hands don’t touch the site again after it is cleaned. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and subscribing if u
I just had my knee injections, my fourth pair, yesterday at the VAMC. I get the synvisc one gel injections in both knees. My doc uses cold spray on my knees first, than she injects some lido-leaves the needle in my knee and unscrews the vile, screws the gel vile onto the needle in my knee, and injects the gel. My right knee always feels more pressure than my left which I feel basically nothing. My left knee is worse of the two knees. I go every six months for them. I have osteoarthritis and these gel injections are phenomenal!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! Basically pain free for 5-5.5 months. They couldn’t do steroid injections because I’m only 43 and they will make the arthritis worse. Eventually I’ll need knee replacements, but I’m too young for them now, outside of some emergency I pray 🙏 never occurs. Anyways, if you have arthritis in your knees the gel injections are a must!! They don’t hurt at all and your arthritis-caused knee pain will be significantly reduced if not gone entirely. For the docs, use freeze spray immediately prior to insertion of the needle and your patients will love you!!! God bless~
My orthopedic doctor usually has his PA do the injections and admits that the PA has the “touch” I had great relief and never hesitate to have the injection. Thanks for sharing another great video 👍👍💕💕
I was given no freezing beforehand and my hyaluronic knee injections were the most excruciatingly painful since a dentist did a root canal on me without freezing in the 50s. I left the doctor's office in shock and two years later I am still traumatized. Needless to say I won't be doing that again and certainly won't be visiting that surgeon again, who didn't prepare me at all for what was to come. When I asked about an ultrasound guided injection prior to the procedure he said it wasn't necessary as my weight didn't warrant it and he could see the knee structure. He never offered nor mentioned freezing. He said afterwards that there was very little space between the bones which explained the pain as the product was being pushed in.
I agree with you 100% I had a steroid injection into my knee yesterday for arthritis. I've had 3 children and I can tell you the injection was just as bad as child birth. I'm totally traumatised after it, it was horrendous 😢
@@gigigirl0 I certainly hope, after all you went through, that you get some relief from the arthritis pain in your knee. In my case, I detected no improvement after my injections.
I’ve had 7 cortisone injections. They don’t feel great, but the pain I had in my knee before the shot was so bad I begged for it. I felt so much better each time.
@@TalkingWithDocs you know these shots damage cartilage, tendon, etc and just a band aid but you push them anyway just like ESIs. Glad you are not my docs. (BTW, the carnivore video made me realize what morons you are).
The first time I had gel shots, when I tried to get up, it felt like I had a rod inserted in my knees. Otherwise, the shots don’t hurt. My mainOrthopedist doesn’t freeze, but my hand Ortho doe’s, and it is less painful. You guys rock!
That’s Exactly what happened to me . My knees wouldn’t bend at all , I couldn’t walk & both legs violently swelled and spasmed . In and out of the ER because my knees were so swollen and burned like literal fire 🔥 To this day my knees have gotten much worse than they were and turn all kinds of colors when i walk too much , which I had to RE learn how to do after I got these cortisone injections . I made sure I researched and had a list of questions with me and was assured that the risk of having complications from cortisone injections was very rare . WELL …… I had a rare underlying illness called complex regional pain syndrome that I didn’t know About . I tore my meniscus and the cortisone was supposed to help that because the tear was only a millimeter but my entire leg was swollen, stuck straight, then began contracting in half backwards and spastic pit of control . I’m very thankful for the early diagnosis and will Never get another cortisone injection again .
@@Christinesobsevations did you get this after cortisone or Synvisc gel shots? I had both mine on fire after last week's Synvisc shots and my right one still fired up. Hurts like hell to walk. I wasn't this bad off beforehand.
I had cortisone injections for years before my TKR. Starting out with once a year, both knees, which were very effective until last year and a half. At that time I had them every six months until they became not effective at all. I've had a total of maybe a dozen cortisone knee injections including a few gel. Sometimes they didn't hurt and sometimes they were painful. None produced blood. The needle is not painful ever, and all injections were given in the same general area as shown in the video, .but by different PAs I've come to the conclusion, in my experience the ones that were most effective were somewhat painful and slowly injected instead of the quick in and out method. Good luck to all!
I’m getting this done for the first time tomorrow, both knees as I have a large amount of fluid on both knees due to an unknown cause. Only 140 lbs and I’m 27, very active. It’s been going on over a month and I can’t walk without a cane, I didn’t want to do shots but I no longer have a choice as everything isn’t working, wish me luck!
I had a lot of fluid taken off my knee , then steroid injection , I have gone in 24hrs not been able to walk up to the stairs to walking without a limb , magic stuff and no pain
Had several before I had knee replacements. They don't hurt and really worth it for a short time period until you are grinding bone on bone. I would encourage anyone to get them. It's a good place to start. I get them in my shoulder now with an ultrasound to get the right spot and same goes. It does not hurt and results are often very fast. I agree freezing isn't worth it. Love you guys.
Mine was done today for the first time on the right knee.It was on the inside part of the knee (not like on this video that was on the outside part) & im going to tell you it hurt like hell!!The freezing spray only helps with the numbing of the skin so when the needle breaks the skin it won't hurt but once he pushed the rest of the needle in,I felt EVERYTHING!!!I was doing labor breathing the whole time!Now I must say that I have literally no ability of bending my knees and coming up from a squat on my own.Have zero strength & very painful. Someone must help me come back up.Also I have many autoimmune diseases like Systemic Scleroderma,Raynauds Phenomenon & RA.It's been 5 hrs since the injection & im swollen,sore & in pain.Can't bend my knee at all.I limped out of that office.I have to get the other knee done in 2 weeks but im not looking forward to it.Eventually I will need a knee replacement😢
The part that hurts is draining the fluid in the knee which really hurts. The cortisone afterward feels good. The "Sinvysc One" injection wasn't too bad. The painful part is the draining. After a while you'll just say, I'm done give me the surgery.
There was a little less sting to my Cingal injection knowing WSIB was picking up the tab. I'll volunteer my mangled knee to med students. Have at it kids.
I get 5 injections twice a year. (INSURANCE protocol) I call them WD-40 injection. They never HURT. My doctor and I wanted to get the second series to help with the rainy season and barometric issues, the remaining storms just increased the issue. Once my knee got all of the problems these guys talked about, yeah the injection hurt, because of the inflammation. It was off the chart this storm season. It was so inflamed with over use and no WD-40 It was like starting over. now my second series will be OCTOBER NOVEMBER 1 injection per week, for 5 weeks. This winter, I should be able to live my life without streaming profanities. They do work and safer than cortisone, for long term use, but the cortisone can work faster and longer and is good for flare ups. We did use it to get me through the storm season of 2023-2024. Now, i will finish up spring WD-40 then next October November and see if we will beat the storms. QUESTIONS LOL DISCLAIMER SAME WITH PENDING EARTHQUAKES as well are for another day
I’ve had knee injections for years, with both the spray and without, but if I had watched this video before having injections, I’d have chickened out! OMGosh! It’s one thing to quickly put the needle in, but injecting the medicine in slowly results in much less pain, believe me, I KNOW! I’ve never had an injection bleed that much either! (most times, no blood!)
No. There is no need to. Once the area is sterilized with alcohol it is not touched again other than with the sterile needle. People have a misconception about the need for sterile gloves.
And let me now say after watching this . I would rather be completely crippled by pain than have anyone JAMMMMM A CARDIOLOGIST GRADE NEEDLE 💉 IN MY BODY .
According to the medical professionals they don't hurt, but the patients say they do 😅. Jk. My 10 year old son is getting one on Monday and I'm dreading it 😢. The last time he had it done, it was quite painful. They'll freeze the skin, but from his past experience, it didn't matter much. His knee is inflamed and swollen from JIA.
My name is Carl Mitchell, I had 3 knee injections and 2 of 3 times it was very painful. My knees are bent from maybe sitting in wheelchair too long, how do I get the knees straightened out with out a lot of pain it hurts when I elevated. What can I do
I had a cortisone injection just like this a week ago. My doc was a little more gentle. This guy just jammed it in there lol. Mine only had a little drop of blood. Mine didn't hurt. It was a little sore later, but the injection didn't hurt. Also, my doc used a spray to numb the area before the shot. Didn't see that here. No gloves here? Why?
Did knee Injections for 8 1/2 years. Different flavors of medications. Finally no good results, which I knew would be the case at a point in time. Did a follow up after last injection, told my orthopedic Dr, it was time. 2 weeks later, new knee, 14 weeks later new knee. By the way never had major pain with injections. Was a pretty uneventful process
I would love to see a video on Hyaluronic acid, or rooster comb, injections. I've been hearing a lot about this from friends who have screwed their knees from years of sports and who are trying to decide or waiting for knee replacement operations. Your take on this therapy would be interesting! Thanks for your great videos!
We will add this to our list. We are advocates of them. Not perfect. And not for everyone. But low risk and often significant benefit. Thanks for watching and subscribing
My Hubs had the Rooster Comb injection four years ago. Within 5 hours he was in extreme, unmanageable-at-home pain. We went to the ER, where they dosed him with Demerol and sent him home with Tramadol prescription, and told us to continue icing it through the weekend. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Of course I am not a doctor.
California orthopedic surgeon 1st injection not sure steroids used or amount ( only learned later moving to another state steroids not amount) lasted 6 days scheduled again that injection lasted 6 month's, then next injection another 6 months but next lasting a year then 1 1/2 years during all these shots able do my stretches using bars letting leg very high no pain 2017 moved to Seattle wasn't until Dec 2023 find doctor willing to use both steroids my California doctor used almost as good as CA doctor most all doctors will not do steroids here in Seattle. 2017 by 2021couldnt walk 2022 needed a city disable transportation so stupid, since 2017 when CA doctors injection wore off Seattle Dr said do surgery only.
Thanks for making this video! I stayed awake for my arthroscopy so I could watch, but for some reason I’m really nervous about this upcoming injection! The video really helped.
That's such BS I've had cortisone shots, and I've had the gel shots and bothurt like hell. Afterwards, the cortis over, we're fine. Cause they numbed the area and the knee. They must shoot lighter cane in at the same time. But I had to ice my knees over the night. Because I didn't realize how much. That it takes for cortisone to work its way around. And that causes pain and give me a freaking break. I've had the jail shots where I have to go in one time out for 3 weeks. And it's almost feels like hes punching inside of my knee. And I couldn't put weight on my knee for the first 15 minutes. So that's BS it doesn't hurt. I don't know which is better, just have me. Arthritis and put in compression knee things on which help or just use my patches. But it's BSI hope you guys have a jealous shot up to your knees and tell me how much it doesn't.hurt.
I love the procedure videos too.😁. Have had many injections in the hands, neck and back for pain and each time it feels different. Sometimes it hurts worse than others. Great video as always docs. 🙏. Be safe
Can you tell me how much pain you had after PRP and were you unable to bend and straighten your legs? I have a patient who, after two days, still has a lot of pain in the joint and cannot bend or straighten his leg. Please help me in this matter
Had gel injection and hurt like hell! Didn’t get any relief on top of that! Been 4 weeks now and crossing my fingers that today my doctor can give me some relief.
@@TalkingWithDocs no relief 🥲 my doctor can’t give cortisone injections. My specialist is on vacation and now I am frustrated and I have a tennis tournament coming up next weekend going to have to rely on painkillers.
No this made it worse. I don't have arthritis, my Ortho, would use it for a knee injury, a meniscus complex tear. He said no surgery can be done until I have a cortisone shot first. I don't like the idea at all, and, this video makes it look worse to me. Why not lay down instead?
F k, they definitely hurt Sure, it's gonna get my insurance when it covers me getting the smaller amount one time for 3 weeks. Such 3 times happened to go in there the first time I couldn't believe how much is hurt and that I couldn't even weight bear there on my knee until finally by the time I got home and then I had to ice them. OMG I know cortisone is bad for your knees. At least numbs
I've had several cycles of Synvisc. I found one PA who was virtually painless, but one day when I went in for my shot the doctor accompanied the PA into the examining room. This should have been a red flag to me particularly when the doctor pointed to an area of my knee that instructed the PA where to put the shot. Oh my, it was so painful I couldn't believe it. I am willing to bet this was the first shot this PA administered. I stopped getting the shots since it no longer helped, but I'm terrified to have any surgery done because for five years, while a medical transcriptionist, my account was Infectious Disease and after typing about the infections people had after surgery and the pain they went through along with lifelong need for antibiotics or immobilization of the knee, I'll live with the pain.
I had injections in my knee 3 times over the years and my first was with an orthopedic doctor and had very little pain in the needle. 2nd and third was with a doctor in my family care clinic and HOLLY HEL^ did they hurt. last one felt like a harpoon going in. I think my doc didn't like how overweight I was and this is his way to sock it to me,
Just don’t look at the damn needle and you’re fine. Cortisone shots seem to hurt more than gel shots for some reason but they’re not bad. What I think is great is the Bluetooth ultrasound devices that they use to find the space. Much simpler.
There was no pain with my injections of euflexa, just alot of pressure on the first shot when the euflexa went in. I never had any pain on either knee after that, totally painless.
The only time I have had pain with an injection is when a PA does it rather than the Dr. I love watching your videos! Very informative as well as entertaining.
I have had both knees injected a number of times. Cortisone worked the best. Gel only once. Eh. I almost did not get the shot. I was afraid of pain. I thought they were easy peasy. No pain. They usually lasted about 3 months. 6 weeks ago I had surgery on 1 knee. Why in the heck did I wait so long? No more pain like I had.
Dear talking with docs hi i had a corror shot yestraday to help with my arthritis in my left knee can a corroer shot help with arthritis pain from rachel grant
I have had several over the past 10 years. One TKR. Last knee had it's 5th cortisone and was least effective and didn't hurt. The others seemed like the Dr. hit nerve while in there with x-ray guidance.
I can always rely on you gentlement to quickly answer my questions and relieve my anxiety. I'm having both knees injected this week and this helped me get an idea of what to expect. Thanks!
Does the medication have to be shot in so fast? JHC, no wonder it hurts. Hold that guy down and do it to him. Doctors are the biggest sooks when it comes to RECEIVING them. Seen em go to ground even when they were getting INTRADERMAL injections. Could’ve got jobs in the Spanish Inquisition.
Hi Warren. Most patients prefer the injection to be fast because it is into a potential space. There is no sensation at the tip of the needle because it is between the bones unlike a vaccine or other IM injection. Yes doctors don’t do well with medical treatment though. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
I get an injection in the knee every 3 to 4 months for pain relief at the damaged nerves and that is quite painful. my doctor usually numbs the top skin to find the right spot they use small electric shocks. injecting the liquid is the most painful. my nerves are stuck in scar tissue greetings from the Netherlands
@@1packatak it is too deep in the knee so that it does not work and they want to numb the right nerves they use a c arm x ray scan themselves. and because of the small current of stimulation they can make the injection very accurately. and the injection is always done in the operating room. I am very sensitive to infections. and I almost lost my lower leg in 2009 and that's why I'm getting injections in the knee
Hi Ger. Maybe they are using a stimulator to find a specific muscle or nerve. Best of luck. Sounds like you have been through a lot. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
Hi cherl. Don’t really need an ultrasound to inject a knee if you perform it frequently. It is certainly useful for the hip. No evidence for stem cells but maybe in time. Thanks for watching
Having an injection in my knee cap (steroids) and worried it hurts. They are gonna put a numbing spray in my knee. Family member came with me who also had same thing and says it didn’t hurt, just felt weird.
I had steoid injection in both khee. (I have condomalatya in whright khee. The left one (wich is less problematic) harts and feels so heavy. I have an appoinment to my dr after few days. Im so wooring. Is it common pain after 10 days from injection?

I have done without for a year half finally had to go in for shots. I think next I’ll try gel injections. Nothing easy. My knees are bone to bone. Work hard as a wife and mother. My advice be easy on your body ladies. Life sucks getting old.
Thank you I'm scheduled to get my first injection soon and am terrified. I feel a little calmer now that I have an idea what to expect.
If you have a good person doing it it doesn’t hurt. You only feel the pressure. I did have a doctor hit the bone and broke the needle. That was not a good experience. My new person is terrific.

I had those combined (1) freeze, and (2) poke-mon on the right knee for double-digit-YEARS; was so blessed to receive an issue-free knee replacement about four-years ago.
One of the students asked the professor, "This guy's got scars all over his body; instead of stapling him and leaving the traditional scar, may I suture instead?" Go for it. I cannot believe the small, un-noticable, hair-line scar. Job well done.
I am able to walk 3-5 miles a day, without issue, and after surviving fourteen (14) left total hip procedures, I'm so happy to be walking pain-free!!! 👌
Thanks for the insight. Even with a bit of pain the ultimate goal is to improve the condition of the knee or, in my case, the hip which wasn't painful at all. Great video as always.
Thanks Freedom Forever. Glad it is working out. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
Why weren’t you wearing gloves when you gave the injection? Every single knee injection I have ever received was very painful.
Hi D. You don’t need to wear gloves if you maintain a clean injection site. The alcohol kills superficial bacteria and the needle is sterile. The hands don’t touch the site again after it is cleaned. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and subscribing if u
@@TalkingWithDocs Your thumb touched the site, but your thumb had alcohol on it. Still sterile?
I just had my knee injections, my fourth pair, yesterday at the VAMC. I get the synvisc one gel injections in both knees. My doc uses cold spray on my knees first, than she injects some lido-leaves the needle in my knee and unscrews the vile, screws the gel vile onto the needle in my knee, and injects the gel. My right knee always feels more pressure than my left which I feel basically nothing. My left knee is worse of the two knees. I go every six months for them. I have osteoarthritis and these gel injections are phenomenal!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! Basically pain free for 5-5.5 months. They couldn’t do steroid injections because I’m only 43 and they will make the arthritis worse. Eventually I’ll need knee replacements, but I’m too young for them now, outside of some emergency I pray 🙏 never occurs. Anyways, if you have arthritis in your knees the gel injections are a must!! They don’t hurt at all and your arthritis-caused knee pain will be significantly reduced if not gone entirely. For the docs, use freeze spray immediately prior to insertion of the needle and your patients will love you!!!
God bless~
Thank you for taking the time to share. Thanks for watching and subscribing
I have had these injections a number of times and so far they have delayed forever i hope having to have a Knee replacement.
My orthopedic doctor usually has his PA do the injections and admits that the PA has the “touch”
I had great relief and never hesitate to have the injection. Thanks for sharing another great video 👍👍💕💕
Good to hear Kathleen. Very welcome. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
Nobody where I went had "the touch". It was close to unbearable.
I always read that ultrasound guided knee injections are much more accurate and since that technology exists why would you not use it?
Because the knee is quite easy to inject in the right spot. US is great for the hip though
@@TalkingWithDocs Thanks for the response😊
I have so much pain when I get my injection that I scream in pain and come very close to fainting.
That’s not good. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Got my doctor to give me a numbing shot
Much easier now
I was given no freezing beforehand and my hyaluronic knee injections were the most excruciatingly painful since a dentist did a root canal on me without freezing in the 50s. I left the doctor's office in shock and two years later I am still traumatized. Needless to say I won't be doing that again and certainly won't be visiting that surgeon again, who didn't prepare me at all for what was to come. When I asked about an ultrasound guided injection prior to the procedure he said it wasn't necessary as my weight didn't warrant it and he could see the knee structure. He never offered nor mentioned freezing. He said afterwards that there was very little space between the bones which explained the pain as the product was being pushed in.
I agree with you 100% I had a steroid injection into my knee yesterday for arthritis. I've had 3 children and I can tell you the injection was just as bad as child birth. I'm totally traumatised after it, it was
horrendous 😢
@@gigigirl0 I certainly hope, after all you went through, that you get some relief from the arthritis pain in your knee. In my case, I detected no improvement after my injections.
@@judymiller4051 thank you 😘 I really hope so x
Cortisone injections don't really hurt. But, Gel injections YES!
Interesting Glenda. Thanks for watching and subscribing
I’ve had 7 cortisone injections. They don’t feel great, but the pain I had in my knee before the shot was so bad I begged for it. I felt so much better each time.
Good to hear Dede. Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing with someone if you did.
That many cortisone injections is bad for the cartilage in the knee. That’s fairly negligent of the doctor unless they advised you of that
@@Freedathedogyes, people need to be told to exercise, lose weight and eat an anti-inflammatory diet.
@@TalkingWithDocs you know these shots damage cartilage, tendon, etc and just a band aid but you push them anyway just like ESIs. Glad you are not my docs. (BTW, the carnivore video made me realize what morons you are).
too bad you killed the cartilage on your knee. i'm sorry.
The first time I had gel shots, when I tried to get up, it felt like I had a rod inserted in my knees. Otherwise, the shots don’t hurt. My mainOrthopedist doesn’t freeze, but my hand Ortho doe’s, and it is less painful. You guys rock!
Thanks so much carmenbaby02! Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
That’s Exactly what happened to me . My knees wouldn’t bend at all , I couldn’t walk & both legs violently swelled and spasmed . In and out of the ER because my knees were so swollen and burned like literal fire 🔥
To this day my knees have gotten much worse than they were and turn all kinds of colors when i walk too much , which I had to RE learn how to do after I got these cortisone injections .
I made sure I researched and had a list of questions with me and was assured that the risk of having complications from cortisone injections was very rare .
WELL ……
I had a rare underlying illness called complex regional pain syndrome that I didn’t know About . I tore my meniscus and the cortisone was supposed to help that because the tear was only a millimeter but my entire leg was swollen, stuck straight, then began contracting in half backwards and spastic pit of control .
I’m very thankful for the early diagnosis and will Never get another cortisone injection again .
@@Christinesobsevations did you get this after cortisone or Synvisc gel shots? I had both mine on fire after last week's Synvisc shots and my right one still fired up. Hurts like hell to walk. I wasn't this bad off beforehand.
@pamalama yes .
The downside, as with so much pain help, is the solution is temporary
Yes Ken not a cure. Thanks for watching and subscribing.
I had cortisone injections for years before my TKR. Starting out with once a year, both knees, which were very effective until last year and a half. At that time I had them every six months until they became not effective at all. I've had a total of maybe a dozen cortisone knee injections including a few gel. Sometimes they didn't hurt and sometimes they were painful. None produced blood. The needle is not painful ever, and all injections were given in the same general area as shown in the video, .but by different PAs I've come to the conclusion, in my experience the ones that were most effective were somewhat painful and slowly injected instead of the quick in and out method. Good luck to all!
Thank you for sharing your experience Deborah. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
"Deborah Doucatte" So the technique matters
@@obscurelyvague Yes! It matters in effectiveness!
I’m getting this done for the first time tomorrow, both knees as I have a large amount of fluid on both knees due to an unknown cause. Only 140 lbs and I’m 27, very active. It’s been going on over a month and I can’t walk without a cane, I didn’t want to do shots but I no longer have a choice as everything isn’t working, wish me luck!
Good luck Soulful. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
I had a lot of fluid taken off my knee , then steroid injection , I have gone in 24hrs not been able to walk up to the stairs to walking without a limb , magic stuff and no pain
Had several before I had knee replacements. They don't hurt and really worth it for a short time period until you are grinding bone on bone. I would encourage anyone to get them. It's a good place to start. I get them in my shoulder now with an ultrasound to get the right spot and same goes. It does not hurt and results are often very fast. I agree freezing isn't worth it. Love you guys.
Thanks so much judith. Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing with someone if you did.
Mine was done today for the first time on the right knee.It was on the inside part of the knee (not like on this video that was on the outside part) & im going to tell you it hurt like hell!!The freezing spray only helps with the numbing of the skin so when the needle breaks the skin it won't hurt but once he pushed the rest of the needle in,I felt EVERYTHING!!!I was doing labor breathing the whole time!Now I must say that I have literally no ability of bending my knees and coming up from a squat on my own.Have zero strength & very painful. Someone must help me come back up.Also I have many autoimmune diseases like Systemic Scleroderma,Raynauds Phenomenon & RA.It's been 5 hrs since the injection & im swollen,sore & in pain.Can't bend my knee at all.I limped out of that office.I have to get the other knee done in 2 weeks but im not looking forward to it.Eventually I will need a knee replacement😢
Does It Hurt To Get A Knee Injection?, don't need to watch the video the answer is "yes".
Hi pijinto. For some we guess but for most it’s ok. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
Heck yes they do! However, if you need them they will help keep surgery at bay for a time.
Why didnt you sonogram to watch where needle ends up?
Mine hurt like Hell!
The part that hurts is draining the fluid in the knee which really hurts. The cortisone afterward feels good. The "Sinvysc One" injection wasn't too bad. The painful part is the draining. After a while you'll just say, I'm done give me the surgery.
There was a little less sting to my Cingal injection knowing WSIB was picking up the tab. I'll volunteer my mangled knee to med students. Have at it kids.
Very nice Mom2Boys.
I get 5 injections twice a year. (INSURANCE protocol) I call them WD-40 injection. They never HURT. My doctor and I wanted to get the second series to help with the rainy season and barometric issues, the remaining storms just increased the issue. Once my knee got all of the problems these guys talked about, yeah the injection hurt, because of the inflammation. It was off the chart this storm season. It was so inflamed with over use and no WD-40 It was like starting over. now my second series will be OCTOBER NOVEMBER 1 injection per week, for 5 weeks. This winter, I should be able to live my life without streaming profanities. They do work and safer than cortisone, for long term use, but the cortisone can work faster and longer and is good for flare ups. We did use it to get me through the storm season of 2023-2024. Now, i will finish up spring WD-40 then next October November and see if we will beat the storms. QUESTIONS LOL DISCLAIMER SAME WITH PENDING EARTHQUAKES as well are for another day
I’ve had knee injections for years, with both the spray and without, but if I had watched this video before having injections, I’d have chickened out! OMGosh! It’s one thing to quickly put the needle in, but injecting the medicine in slowly results in much less pain, believe me, I KNOW! I’ve never had an injection bleed that much either! (most times, no blood!)
Was he wearing gloves at the end when he did the injection ?
No. There is no need to. Once the area is sterilized with alcohol it is not touched again other than with the sterile needle. People have a misconception about the need for sterile gloves.
@@TalkingWithDocs Ok thanks !
And let me now say after watching this . I would rather be completely crippled by pain than have anyone JAMMMMM A CARDIOLOGIST GRADE NEEDLE 💉 IN MY BODY .
Both miniscuses were torn on my right knee. Will a knee injection help the pain? Should it be hyaluronic gel or cortisone or both?
According to the medical professionals they don't hurt, but the patients say they do 😅. Jk. My 10 year old son is getting one on Monday and I'm dreading it 😢. The last time he had it done, it was quite painful. They'll freeze the skin, but from his past experience, it didn't matter much. His knee is inflamed and swollen from JIA.
My name is Carl Mitchell, I had 3 knee injections and 2 of 3 times it was very painful. My knees are bent from maybe sitting in wheelchair too long, how do I get the knees straightened out with out a lot of pain it hurts when I elevated. What can I do
Me too!
I had a cortisone injection just like this a week ago. My doc was a little more gentle. This guy just jammed it in there lol. Mine only had a little drop of blood. Mine didn't hurt. It was a little sore later, but the injection didn't hurt. Also, my doc used a spray to numb the area before the shot. Didn't see that here. No gloves here? Why?
Did knee Injections for 8 1/2 years. Different flavors of medications. Finally no good results, which I knew would be the case at a point in time. Did a follow up after last injection, told my orthopedic Dr, it was time. 2 weeks later, new knee, 14 weeks later new knee. By the way never had major pain with injections. Was a pretty uneventful process
Thank you for sharing Steve. Enjoy the new knees. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
I would love to see a video on Hyaluronic acid, or rooster comb, injections. I've been hearing a lot about this from friends who have screwed their knees from years of sports and who are trying to decide or waiting for knee replacement operations. Your take on this therapy would be interesting! Thanks for your great videos!
We will add this to our list. We are advocates of them. Not perfect. And not for everyone. But low risk and often significant benefit. Thanks for watching and subscribing
My Hubs had the Rooster Comb injection four years ago. Within 5 hours he was in extreme, unmanageable-at-home pain. We went to the ER, where they dosed him with Demerol and sent him home with Tramadol prescription, and told us to continue icing it through the weekend.
I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Of course I am not a doctor.
@@kedeglow2743how is he now? I sure hope better!!
California orthopedic surgeon 1st injection not sure steroids used or amount ( only learned later moving to another state steroids not amount) lasted 6 days scheduled again that injection lasted 6 month's, then next injection another 6 months but next lasting a year then 1 1/2 years during all these shots able do my stretches using bars letting leg very high no pain 2017 moved to Seattle wasn't until Dec 2023 find doctor willing to use both steroids my California doctor used almost as good as CA doctor most all doctors will not do steroids here in Seattle. 2017 by 2021couldnt walk 2022 needed a city disable transportation so stupid, since 2017 when CA doctors injection wore off Seattle Dr said do surgery only.
Does it hurt to get a knee injection?! YES!! Just ask anyone who has to get them!
It is very variable for sure Delma. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
Thanks for making this video! I stayed awake for my arthroscopy so I could watch, but for some reason I’m really nervous about this upcoming injection! The video really helped.
You had me until you said “the procedure is well tolerated by most patients” . That’s medspeak for “Bring a leather strap to bite down on”.
I had a cortisone shot yesterday. What are these folks talking about? It’s less painful then a mosquito bite.
That's such BS I've had cortisone shots, and I've had the gel shots and bothurt like hell. Afterwards, the cortis over, we're fine. Cause they numbed the area and the knee. They must shoot lighter cane in at the same time. But I had to ice my knees over the night. Because I didn't realize how much. That it takes for cortisone to work its way around. And that causes pain and give me a freaking break. I've had the jail shots where I have to go in one time out for 3 weeks. And it's almost feels like hes punching inside of my knee. And I couldn't put weight on my knee for the first 15 minutes. So that's BS it doesn't hurt. I don't know which is better, just have me. Arthritis and put in compression knee things on which help or just use my patches. But it's BSI hope you guys have a jealous shot up to your knees and tell me how much it doesn't.hurt.
I love the procedure videos too.😁. Have had many injections in the hands, neck and back for pain and each time it feels different. Sometimes it hurts worse than others. Great video as always docs. 🙏. Be safe
So glad you do Anita! Thanks for watching
Can you tell me how much pain you had after PRP and were you unable to bend and straighten your legs?
I have a patient who, after two days, still has a lot of pain in the joint and cannot bend or straighten his leg. Please help me in this matter
Had gel injection and hurt like hell! Didn’t get any relief on top of that! Been 4 weeks now and crossing my fingers that today my doctor can give me some relief.
Fingers crossed!
@@TalkingWithDocs no relief 🥲 my doctor can’t give cortisone injections. My specialist is on vacation and now I am frustrated and I have a tennis tournament coming up next weekend going to have to rely on painkillers.
Doesn't really hurt to it doesn't really hurt that bad, unless....... Lol
I've had several injections in my knees with bone on bone
Never hurt just felt a lil pressure 😊
No this made it worse. I don't have arthritis, my Ortho, would use it for a knee injury, a meniscus complex tear. He said no surgery can be done until I have a cortisone shot first. I don't like the idea at all, and, this video makes it look worse to me. Why not lay down instead?
F k, they definitely hurt Sure, it's gonna get my insurance when it covers me getting the smaller amount one time for 3 weeks. Such 3 times happened to go in there the first time I couldn't believe how much is hurt and that I couldn't even weight bear there on my knee until finally by the time I got home and then I had to ice them. OMG I know cortisone is bad for your knees. At least numbs
I've had several cycles of Synvisc. I found one PA who was virtually painless, but one day when I went in for my shot the doctor accompanied the PA into the examining room. This should have been a red flag to me particularly when the doctor pointed to an area of my knee that instructed the PA where to put the shot. Oh my, it was so painful I couldn't believe it. I am willing to bet this was the first shot this PA administered. I stopped getting the shots since it no longer helped, but I'm terrified to have any surgery done because for five years, while a medical transcriptionist, my account was Infectious Disease and after typing about the infections people had after surgery and the pain they went through along with lifelong need for antibiotics or immobilization of the knee, I'll live with the pain.
Hi Princessa. The risk of infection is about 1 percent. Best of luck with your decision. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
Don’t let them blow smoke up your butt. These injections hurt. Ok doc, you give me a shot and then then it’s my turn to give you an injection.
I had injections in my knee 3 times over the years and my first was with an orthopedic doctor and had very little pain in the needle. 2nd and third was with a doctor in my family care clinic and HOLLY HEL^ did they hurt. last one felt like a harpoon going in. I think my doc didn't like how overweight I was and this is his way to sock it to me,
My wife had a knee injection and she said it hurt like a mutha f*cka. Her doctor told her she wouldn’t feel a thing.
Just don’t look at the damn needle and you’re fine. Cortisone shots seem to hurt more than gel shots for some reason but they’re not bad. What I think is great is the Bluetooth ultrasound devices that they use to find the space. Much simpler.
There was no pain with my injections of euflexa, just alot of pressure on the first shot when the euflexa went in. I never had any pain on either knee after that, totally painless.
The only time I have had pain with an injection is when a PA does it rather than the Dr. I love watching your videos! Very informative as well as entertaining.
Glad you like them Suzann. Thanks for watching and subscribing

I get my injections every 3 months and I scream every time lol
Mine hurt also. I wonder why they do not hurt some people but in my case the pain is terrible.
sloppy presentation, too much talk, should use local anesthesia, for prep betadine first, wait a minute, then alcohol, wait a minute
I have had both knees injected a number of times. Cortisone worked the best. Gel only once. Eh. I almost did not get the shot. I was afraid of pain. I thought they were easy peasy. No pain. They usually lasted about 3 months. 6 weeks ago I had surgery on 1 knee. Why in the heck did I wait so long? No more pain like I had.
Congrats W! Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
Dang, you just jagged that needle in and were done in no time.
I can tell you are a "rip the band aid off" kinda guy.
So if the injection is done correctly it shouldn't hurt right?
So if the dr screws up then it hurts right?

Cortisone doesn't hurt but the gel with cortisone hurts like HELL!!!!!! 2 hours after injection. Lasted 4 hours of HELL.
That seems odd. Neither should really hurt except Durolane and Synvisc can sometimes have a flare reaction.
I have had several over the past 10 years. One TKR. Last knee had it's 5th cortisone and was least effective and didn't hurt. The others seemed like the Dr. hit nerve while in there with x-ray guidance.
Oh man.
I can always rely on you gentlement to quickly answer my questions and relieve my anxiety. I'm having both knees injected this week and this helped me get an idea of what to expect. Thanks!
Does the medication have to be shot in so fast? JHC, no wonder it hurts. Hold that guy down and do it to him. Doctors are the biggest sooks when it comes to RECEIVING them. Seen em go to ground even when they were getting INTRADERMAL injections. Could’ve got jobs in the Spanish Inquisition.
Hi Warren. Most patients prefer the injection to be fast because it is into a potential space. There is no sensation at the tip of the needle because it is between the bones unlike a vaccine or other IM injection. Yes doctors don’t do well with medical treatment though.

I get an injection in the knee every 3 to 4 months for pain relief at the damaged nerves and that is quite painful. my doctor usually numbs the top skin to find the right spot they use small electric shocks. injecting the liquid is the most painful. my nerves are stuck in scar tissue greetings from the Netherlands
I am confused about the electric shocks. They should be able to find the right spot with palpation.
@@1packatak it is too deep in the knee so that it does not work and they want to numb the right nerves they use a c arm x ray scan themselves. and because of the small current of stimulation they can make the injection very accurately. and the injection is always done in the operating room. I am very sensitive to infections. and I almost lost my lower leg in 2009 and that's why I'm getting injections in the knee
Hi Ger. Maybe they are using a stimulator to find a specific muscle or nerve. Best of luck. Sounds like you have been through a lot. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
