Joint Injections

We offer safe and effective joint injections to help reduce pain and improve movement. Appointments are often available the same week, and all treatments are carried out by experienced GPs with musculoskeletal expertise.

Joint Injections at Well Life GP Clinic

We offer safe and effective joint injections to help reduce pain and improve movement. Appointments are often available the same week, and all treatments are carried out by experienced GPs with musculoskeletal expertise.

What are joint injections?

A joint injection involves placing medication directly into the affected joint. This may be:

  • Steroid injections – to reduce inflammation and pain.
  • Local anaesthetic – often combined with steroid to provide short-term pain relief.
  • Ostenil (hyaluronic acid) injections – a non-steroid option that improves lubrication within the joint, helping to reduce pain and stiffness, particularly in osteoarthritis.

Who carries out the injections?

All procedures are performed by GPs trained in musculoskeletal medicine.

Common conditions we treat

  • Knee arthritis and flare-ups affecting mobility
  • Shoulder problems such as bursitis, frozen shoulder or impingement
  • Hip pain from arthritis or bursitis
  • Ankle and foot joint pain
  • Knee osteoarthritis with Ostenil (hyaluronic acid) injections
  • Small joints such as the wrist, thumb or fingers
  • Carpal Tunnel Symptoms - pins and needles in the hand
  • Tennis elbow - pain on the outer aspect of the elbow due to bursitis
  • Trigger finger - locking of fingers when bending them or making a fist

The benefits of having joint injections

  • Relief of pain within days, lasting weeks or months (sometimes longer)
  • Improved mobility and function
  • Helps you continue with physiotherapy or exercise
  • Carried out in a calm, private setting by skilled GPs
  • Ostenil injections provide a non-steroid alternative, which can be repeated and may offer relief lasting several months

What happens on the day?

  • Consultation and consent – your GP will review your symptoms, confirm the diagnosis and explain your treatment options, including steroid or hyaluronic acid injections.
  • Preparation – the skin is cleaned and, if needed, a local anaesthetic is used.
  • Injection – the chosen medication is given directly into the joint
  • Aftercare – you’ll rest briefly in the Clinic, advised to avoid strenuous activity for 48 hours and go home with clear advice on recovery.


Risks and side effects

Most people tolerate joint injections very well. Possible side effects include:

  • A short increase in pain for 1-3 days afterwards
  • Local skin changes (thinning or colour changes) with steroids
  • Rare risk of infection at the injection site
  • Short-term rise in blood sugar for people with diabetes (with steroids)
  • Very rare allergic reactions

Ostenil injections do not contain steroid and are generally very well tolerated, with side effects usually limited to mild temporary discomfort at the injection site.

Your GP will discuss risks fully before proceeding and take your consent.

Aftercare

  • Rest the joint for 1–2 days and avoid heavy activity
  • Use paracetamol if needed for discomfort
  • An ice pack can help reduce soreness
  • Physiotherapy or gentle exercise may be recommended
  • Contact us straight away if you develop fever, redness, or severe pain
  • Please contact us at any time if you have questions related to the injections given

Testimonials

“After a lot of research, I chose Dr Rhea at Aesthetics by Dr Rhea for first time Botox in my forehead. I was initially nervous but Dr Rhea made me feel completely at ease. She was very patient and took the time to understand what I wanted to get out of the treatment and to go through the different options available. The procedure itself was relatively painless and I am absolutely over the moon with the results. I wanted a really soft and natural look, and that is exactly what I got. I have had so many compliments recently on how well I am looking and I can’t thank Dr Rhea enough!”

Laura

“Thank you, a big difference, so glad I finally did it! The experience from beginning to end was very professional and comfortable. I was quite anxious prior to treatment but Dr Rhea explained everything I needed to know, was gentle and reassuring. Even after treatment she made sure I was comfortable. Very happy customer & I highly recommend Dr Rhea.”

Fi

“I was quite nervous to start with but Dr Rhea put me at ease straight away. She answered all my questions in simple ways that were east to understand and explained exactly what she was going to do.

Ruby

“I highly recommend Dr Rhea for facial aesthetics, I'd had my lips enhanced once before by a different clinician but wasn't entirely satisfied with the result. Thankfully I found Dr Rhea who enhanced my lips to my satisfaction with the best treatment and aftercare is exceptional.”

Rebecca

“Rhea was very professional with her advice. She really does cater to your needs, not just what you think the end result should look like. I felt in safe hands with her. The aftercare was also great. She made the time to ask about the results and accommodated for top ups. I'll be using Rhea for botox/lip filler again.”

Heena

FAQs

Q. Does this cure arthritis?
A. No – injections reduce pain and inflammation but cannot reverse joint changes.

Q. How long does relief last?
A. Steroid injections may provide relief for weeks to months. Ostenil injections can last several months and may be repeated as advised.

Q. Can I drive home afterwards?
A. Yes – most people can drive, but avoid strenuous activity for a couple of days.

Q. When would Ostenil be offered instead of steroid?
A. Ostenil may be suggested if you prefer a non-steroid option, if you cannot have steroids for medical reasons, or if you have knee osteoarthritis where lubrication therapy may provide lasting benefit.

Q. Why might joint inkections not be suitable for me?
A. Joint injections may not be suitable if you have certain medical conditions (such as an active infection, specific bleeding disorders, or recent live vaccinations). Suitability is always assessed during your consultation, and full consent is taken before treatment.
