I’ve had a number of aspirations to both of my knees along with the steroid injections. Thankfully the injections have been one of the only things to relieve pain for me. But the swelling has always come back, sooner each time, so I’ve stopped getting them for now. Hopefully it gives you some relief. At least temporarily.

I had been injecting myself with Humira for years so I’ve definitely been de-sensitized to injections and needles. Now I get methotrexate injections weekly and Orencia infusions every four weeks so needles are just a part of the treatment plan.

I hope the injection is helpful to your knee and brings you relief.

You made it! I have had several injections in my knee over the years and each time it has brought relief. I hope the same is true for you. :)

Injecting something into a joint that’s so swollen already. I had the same fear around Christmas when I had a bad flare up in my finger so had to get an injection for it. Like you, the actual injection was much less horrific than my imagination. And it really really helped. Hope yours does the same!
