Knee inflammation & bursitis
Inflammation in or around the knee can cause pain, swelling, stiffness and tenderness.

No, you do not usually need a GP referral to book a private knee assessment. We can assess your symptoms and determine whether a steroid injection is appropriate for you.
The cost of a knee steroid injection depends on the assessment and treatment provided. Please see our current pricing or contact us for details.
If appropriate, it may be possible to have the injection during the same appointment. Your clinician will first assess your knee and discuss whether an injection is suitable.
Steroid injections may help with certain causes of knee pain, particularly where inflammation is contributing to your symptoms. They may be considered for conditions such as knee osteoarthritis, bursitis and some meniscal or patellofemoral pain.
Â
No. A steroid injection does not usually cure the underlying cause of knee pain. It may reduce pain and inflammation, helping you move more comfortably and take part in rehabilitation or other treatment.
You may feel a brief sting or pressure during the injection. Most people tolerate the procedure well, and your clinician will explain what to expect before treatment.
Some people notice an improvement within a few days, although it can take longer. Your clinician will explain what to expect based on your individual symptoms and treatment.
The duration of pain relief varies from person to person and depends on the underlying condition. Some people experience relief for several weeks or longer, while others may have less benefit.
Possibly, but this needs to be discussed with your clinician. Steroid injections can temporarily affect blood glucose levels, so appropriate precautions may be needed.
It depends on the medication you take and your individual circumstances. Tell your clinician about any medicines you are taking so they can assess whether an injection is appropriate.
Â
That's okay. Your clinician will explain why an injection may not be appropriate and discuss other suitable treatment options based on your symptoms and assessment.
