Many people have less pain and better movement after a few days. The effect varies and lasts from weeks to months.
What the treatment is and how it's performed
In some pain conditions, an injection can reduce inflammation and pain where the problem sits, for example in a joint, a tendon or a muscle attachment. A doctor examines you and assesses whether an injection is the right treatment. There are several types: injections with an anti-inflammatory medicine, a nerve block that dampens pain signals from an area, and treatment with plasma from your own blood (PRP).
The appointment takes 30–45 minutes.
Pain level, downtime and healing
Most people rate the discomfort 3–5 out of 10. The area can be tender for a couple of days.
Usually 1–2 days of tenderness. Rest the area for a couple of days after the treatment, following the doctor's advice.
Who it's for and safety information
The effect lasts from a few weeks to several months, depending on the condition and the type of injection.
See a doctor the same day if the joint becomes swollen, warm and red, the pain increases sharply or you get a fever. These can be signs of infection, which must be treated quickly.
