nikita Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Has anyone had a steroid injection in the knee. I am due to have one on Thursday ,I am not so much worried about having it done but we are going away on Friday for the weekend and someone said its painful for a couple of days after, some people have whats called a flare up ,don't want to spoil the holiday.

GRUSS Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I suffer from tennis elbow and have had 2 injections on my elbow. They hurt a lot! But more importantly you need to rest for a few days afterwards. in your case this means keeping off your feet. Could you rent a scooter or wheel chair perhaps. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
