Prefer a Clinic Visit?
Dr Ram provides knee injections at the Rodney Street Clinic in Liverpool. This comfortable and accessible location is ideal for those who prefer not to have a home visit. Whether you choose the clinic or home service, Dr Ram ensures the same personalised care to relieve your knee pain.
Benefits of Dr Ram’s Knee Injections
- Pain Relief: Cortisone helps reduce inflammation, providing relief within days and often lasting several months and sometimes years.
- Reduce Pain Medication: Avoid long-term use of pain relief tablets that often come with unwanted side effects.
- Improved Mobility: Reducing knee joint inflammation can help you stay active and maintain your quality of life.
- Delaying Surgery: For some, injections can help delay or even avoid the need for knee replacement surgery.
- Avoid NHS Wait Times: Many NHS practices don’t offer home visits, and waiting times can stretch for months.
Who Can Benefit from Knee Steroid Injections?
Our home visit knee arthritis treatment service is ideal for patients managing knee osteoarthritis or those on long NHS waiting lists for surgery. Cortisone injections can help bridge the gap, providing temporary relief while you wait. In addition, those with certain knee conditions like runner’s knee (IT band bursitis) may also benefit from targeted cortisone injections.
Please check with your surgeon’s office, as depending on the surgeon they will want a 4-6 month gap before operating.
What to Expect During Your Home Visit Knee Injection
Our mobile service provides expert care and convenience. Here’s what you can expect during the home visit knee injection process:
- Assessment: If you don’t already have a diagnosis from a GP, physiotherapist, or orthopaedic surgeon, Dr Ram will thoroughly examine the affected joint to determine if an injection is appropriate.
- Preparation: The area is cleaned and local anaesthetic is used to minimise discomfort.
- Injection: The cortisone injection is administered directly into the targeted area, ensuring optimal relief and recovery.
After your injection, mild soreness may occur but usually subsides within a day or two. Pain relief typically begins within 48 hours, with the full effect felt within a week.

FAQs for Knee Steroid Injections
1. What are knee steroid injections?
Knee steroid injections, using cortisone, are administered directly into the knee joint to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain associated with conditions like osteoarthritis.
2. Who can benefit from knee steroid injections?
Knee steroid injections are ideal for individuals with pain from osteoarthritis, bursitis, or other inflammatory conditions. They can also provide temporary relief for those awaiting surgery.
Please check with your surgeon’s office, as depending on the surgeon they will want a 4-6 month gap before operating.
3. How do I know if I need a knee injection?
If you are suffering from chronic knee pain, swelling, or reduced mobility, you may be a candidate for knee steroid injections. A consultation with Dr Ram will help determine if this treatment is appropriate for your condition.
4. What can I expect during the injection process?
If you don’t have a prior diagnosis, Dr Ram will examine the joint to confirm suitability for an injection. The area is then cleaned, a local anaesthetic is applied, and the injection is administered quickly. Mild soreness may follow but usually fades within a few days.

Most patients experience pain relief within 48 hours of the injection, with the full effect usually felt within a week. The relief can last from months to years, depending on individual circumstances.

Typically, injections can be given every 3 months per joint.
8. Can I continue my daily activities after the injection?
Yes, most patients can return to normal activities shortly after the injection. However, it’s best to avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activities for a short period to allow the joint to recover. You may continue to drive as usual.
