Local joint injections for knee and joint pain

Joint injections may help selected patients, but they are not a substitute for an accurate diagnosis and are not appropriate for every degree of arthritis or pain.

Assessment of joint pain before choosing local injections for selected conditions such as knee osteoarthritis, tendon-related pain, or inflammatory joint flares, with honest explanation of when injections help and when they are insufficient.
