Supartz injections today
My ortho said it wouldn't hurt as bad as a cortisone shot. He LIED! Well, lied is too strong a word. in his defense, he did say he had never had one, but everyone else said it wasn't bad. OMG! It was...

Either the doctor has a poor needle technique or you have a problem with needles, or it could be that Supartz hurts more. I just had a shot of cortisone in each knee and did not feel a thing. The shot worked like magic but the effects only lasted a few weeks
By the way my doctor had an assistant spray some stuff on my knee to numb it up before he stuck in the needle, did your doc do that?
Yep. I have very little space inside the joint due to severe arthritis. I'm just trying to buy some time to avoid double knee replacements. So far the Supartz is doing a good job.
