Guest guest Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 Hi All, I have swelling in my Knee and took setroids twice, but the swelling is not reduced. My doctor suggested me to inject the fluid from my knee. But some say it will have some infections if you go for this method.... Please suggest.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 No. It isn't lidocane. I had it when my Dr put a cortizone shot into my shoulder. I asked what it was and he told me, but I don't remember. It numbs through cold, not through anesthetic action. I will try to remember what it was. > Chilling spray is LIDOCANE i believe.
