Things to Consider in Intra-Articular Injection Service at Home

Since intra-articular injection is a medical procedure applied directly to the joint cavity, it should be performed by an experienced physician and under appropriate hygiene conditions. The patient's health information, medications used and previous injection reactions should be shared completely before the procedure.

Sharing Medical Information

The patient's current diseases, joint-related diagnoses, medications used, drug allergies and previous surgeries should be reported to the medical team. Particularly blood thinner use, diabetes, immune system diseases, active infection, bleeding disorders and reactions that have developed after previous injections should be shared with the physician.

The date of the injections the patient had previously had in the same joint, the medications used and the results obtained after the application should be reported. If available, x-ray, ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging and laboratory results should be available before the procedure.

Hygiene and Environment Preparation

The environment where the procedure will be performed must be clean, tidy, sufficiently bright and ventilated. A bed, armchair or chair should be prepared in which the patient can be in a position suitable for the joint to be injected. Sufficient space should be left around so that healthcare personnel can move comfortably.

If there is an open wound, skin infection, redness, discharge or serious irritation in the area to be injected, the physician should be informed before the procedure. The application area must be clean and no cream, oil or cosmetic product should be applied to the skin.

Post-Procedure Follow-Up

After the injection, the relevant joint should be rested for the period recommended by the physician. Heavy exercise, long walks, use of stairs, carrying loads or movements that may strain the joint should be avoided. The injection area should be kept clean and dry, and the bandage should be removed at the time recommended by the physician.

After the procedure, short-term pain, tenderness, swelling or a feeling of warmth may occur in the injection area. However, if gradually increasing severe pain, significant redness, excessive swelling, discharge, fever, chills, loss of movement or symptoms of an allergic reaction develop, the healthcare team should be consulted without delay.

Since a temporary increase in blood sugar levels may occur in diabetic patients after injections containing corticosteroids, measurements may need to be monitored more closely. Changes should not be made in the patient's medications or treatment plan without the approval of the physician.
