Side effects of joint injections

You'll find more details about joint injection side effects in many of the articles on this site. Use the search function if you need to.

In general terms however, there are several recognized side effects that can go along with a joint injection. These can be divided into "local side effects" (that happen near to the injection site) or "systemic side effects" (that are seen throughout the whole body).

You also need to remember that the vast majority of those who have a joint injection get no side effects at all.

  1. Had a steroid injection in my elbow yesterday for tennis elbow. Very painful injection. The local anaesthetic didn't take either, after five minutes started to experience pain which grew quite severe during the following hours. Arm very stiff too. Today, the following day, still painful and arm difficult to move. I just hope this steroid works - it's the second one I've had for this tennis elbow, the first one was effective for a few months.
