Knee & Hip Joint Injections Q & A What causes joint pain? Illnesses or injuries can damage the connective tissue in your joints. Damaged joints may feel achy, stiff, swollen, or hot and you may struggle to perform your daily activities. You might even rely on a constant supply of painkillers to manage your discomfort. Joint pain can be a symptom of many different health conditions. People with the following conditions often suffer from pain in their hips or knees: Arthritis Repetitive stress injuries Sports injuries Bursitis Gout Autoimmune disorders These conditions are often treated with medications or physical therapy. But in some cases, you may struggle with ongoing pain even after receiving other treatments. Joint injections can be a valuable part of your treatment strategy. What are knee and hip joint injections? Knee and hip joint injections contain corticosteroids, a medication which can help reduce inflammation to relieve pain and swelling. While steroid medications may not cure your illness or injury, they can work with other treatments to provide fast and long-lasting pain relief. It’s important to understand that steroid medications are not painkillers. Instead of blocking pain signals, they work to reduce your pain by controlling the inflammation that puts pressure on your joints. These medications can be an excellent option for patients who can’t use or prefer not to use narcotics. Unlike prescription painkillers, corticosteroids don’t make you groggy and don’t carry any risk of addiction. And unlike surgical procedures, these injuries require no hospitalization or lengthy recovery time. You can usually receive these injections in Dr. Kanuru’s office, and within a few minutes, you can go straight home. What results can I expect from knee and hip injections? While individual results may vary, most patients notice significant pain relief soon after receiving their injections. Sometimes it may take a few days before you feel the full benefits, but effects can last for weeks or even months. You may need multiple shots to manage your pain over a long period of time. Dr. Kanuru assists his patients in developing a personalized treatment plan to achieve long-term pain relief. If you’re ready to switch from short-term pain relief to long-term pain management, call today or request an appointment online.

This is an outpatient procedure that usually takes less than 30 minutes. How is this performed? This procedure is performed under live x-ray called Fluoroscopy. Are there any tests done before this procedure? Yes. Two diagnostic blocks of the Genicular nerves (nerve branches that supply knee joint) are done before deciding whether a patient is a candidate for Radiofrequency. How are the results? Results are usually good. However, results vary with each patient and the condition of their Arthritis. How about complications? Complications are rare. Post procedural pain which is minimal may last for a few days and responds well with pain medications. Other complications like infection, nerve damage and neuritis are rare . Occasionally patients may experience numbness over the skin in the area of Radiofrequency that can last for a few weeks.
