A joint injection is a short, minimally invasive procedure in which medicine is delivered directly into an affected joint — such as the knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, wrist, or fingers — to reduce pain and inflammation. It is typically recommended when joint pain has not responded adequately to rest, oral medicines, or physiotherapy alone, and surgery is not yet required or desired. The most common medicines used are corticosteroids (strong anti-inflammatory agents), hyaluronic acid (a lubricating substance), or platelet-rich plasma (PRP, derived from the patient's own blood). The procedure takes about 10 to 20 minutes, is done in an outpatient or day-care setting, and patients go home the same day. Most people experience only a brief pinch and a sense of pressure, and recovery is generally quick.
A small amount of anti-inflammatory steroid medicine, often mixed with local anaesthetic, is injected directly into the joint to quickly reduce pain and swelling.
