It costs about $1500-$2000 if you have it done using a guided injection under flouroscopy, a form of radiation. It can also be done using ultrasound for about the same price.

If you have a good sports doc he can do it himself manually in five minutes for under $300.

Can knee replacement get a cortisone shot?

I have often heard about cortisone injections as an alternative to knee replacement but it is un heard of to have injection after the knee replacement. What is the logic behind it? Usually injections are taken to subside the pain that arise from contact of arthritic articular surfaces of knee bones. But when knee replacement is already done I do not see a reason for cortisone injection. At the same time if there is sudden severe pain in your knee after replacement surgery doctor might give you a shot of knee injection. Another possibility is if you have partial knee replacement and non operated compartment of your knee joint troubling you. Hope it helps.

How often can you have your knee drained?

No. I have a significant fear of needles and had my knee drained of fluid followed by a cortisone injection. The doctor used a freeze/numbing spray on my knee topically and then injected the knee with some type of anesthetic. The only minor pain I felt was the injection for the anesthetic. I did not feel any pain while the fluid was being drained or the cortisone shot administered.


Has anyone had muscle cramps and pain in the weeks following a cortisone shot?

I just had a cortisone shot in my shoulder 2 weeks ago and have been noticing random cramps in legs and feet fairly regularly since then. I've considered the possibility that it could be an effect of reduction in my vigorous exercise (though usually I tend to have occasional leg cramps after I exercise, and then it's mostly when I haven't been going quite as often); I've considered it could be somehow a result of my sloppy diet lately. But really the cortisone injection seems the most reasonable culprit to me. Found this question doing a google search to see if there's any known connection.
