Question

use of an intraarticular injection directly into a joint with an anti-inflammatory medication is ideal because the drug will not be answer absorbed but will act locally to decrease inflammation.

Answer 1

The missing word in the blank (answer) is "systemically".

To treat pain, a shot called an intra-articular injection is sent directly into a joint. The most typical medications injected into joints for this therapy are hyaluronic acid, local anesthetics, corticosteroids (steroids), and Botox.

Since many years ago, patients with knee and hip OA have been treated with intra-articular corticosteroid injections, particularly those who cannot endure the adverse effects of long-term pharmacological therapy with acetaminophen and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines.

If your pain does not go away after trying conservative measures like painkillers, oral anti-inflammatory medicines, and physical therapy, your doctor may suggest a joint injection to you.
