  I get knee injections with a timed released medication about every 3 months.  My PA uses a numbing spray on the skin before the injection. I only have a little discomfort (not pain) as the medication goes in. That little discomfort is well worth the almost 3 months of no knee pain!

  I had those combined (1) freeze, and (2) poke-mon on the right knee for double-digit-YEARS; was so blessed to receive an issue-free knee replacement about four-years ago.<br> &nbsp; &nbsp;One of the students asked the professor, &quot;This guy&apos;s got scars all over his body; instead of stapling him and leaving the traditional scar, may I suture instead?&quot; Go for it. I cannot believe the small, un-noticable, hair-line scar. Job well done. &nbsp;<br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I am able to walk 3-5 miles a day, without issue, and after surviving fourteen (14) left total hip procedures, I&apos;m so happy to be walking pain-free!!! 👌

  Had an injection in both knees. First knee resulted in incredible pressure. Had me cringing. Second knee brought forth incredible pain.

  I&apos;ve had both knees done twice and am getting my third set of injections in the morning. The pain of the injection is so insignificant it&apos;s hardly noticeable and is over in less than a second - literally! I find that the pain relieving effect lasts about 9 months or so and wears off gradually so I get a sort of &apos;gentle warning&apos; that I need to book in for more injections. For anyone worried about the pain, don&apos;t worry about it. Don&apos;t look at the injection as it&apos;s going into your knee as this accentuates the perception of &apos;upcoming pain&apos;, makes your muscles tense and can make you flinch, thinking that you&apos;re about to experience something unpleasant. It&apos;s SO not worth giving any of your attention to, the pain is over as soon as you initially notice it.😊<br><br>(I&apos;ve also had 3 rounds of steroid injections in both wrists for carpal tunnel syndrome. Same pain level as the knee injections (almost nothing!) and the painkilling effect lasts about 10 - 12 months after each injection)

  I get them every 3to4 months, the shot doesn’t hurt but the pressure of the medicine going in is uncomfortable

  I just had both my knees done. Not at once but 1 week from each other. They laid me flat on the bed, put a pillow to bend my knee. &nbsp;I was at first terrified but the Docs are right when they said “ It didn’t hurt as bad as I thought it was going to”. The pain in my knees were far worse than the needle.

  I&apos;ve had two injections with almost no pain, my surgeon is amazing.<br> I limped in and after I felt so good &nbsp;I could have danced out of the clinic. <br><br>Absolutely recommend

  I was given no freezing beforehand and my hyaluronic knee injections were the most excruciatingly painful since a dentist did a root canal on me without freezing in the 50s. I left the doctor&apos;s office in shock and two years later I am still traumatized. &nbsp;Needless to say I won&apos;t be doing that again and certainly won&apos;t be visiting that surgeon again, who didn&apos;t prepare me at all for what was to come. &nbsp;When I asked about an ultrasound guided injection prior to the procedure he said it wasn&apos;t necessary as my weight didn&apos;t warrant it and he could see the knee structure. &nbsp;He never offered nor mentioned freezing. He said afterwards that there was very little space between the bones which explained the pain as the product was being pushed in.
