Common Questions About Elbow Injections

How long does the relief last?

The duration of pain relief varies for each individual, typically lasting from several weeks to a few months. Some patients experience longer-lasting benefits.

Are there any side effects?

Common side effects are usually mild and temporary, including soreness, bruising, or a temporary increase in pain at the injection site. Serious side effects are rare.

Can I have multiple injections?

The frequency and number of injections will be determined by your specialist based on your condition and response to treatment. Generally, repeat injections are spaced out over time.

Is the injection painful?

With the use of local anaesthetic and ultrasound guidance, discomfort during the injection is minimised. Most patients report only a brief sensation of pressure or mild stinging.
