Members reassured someone experiencing soreness and stiffness after a knee injection that this is completely normal, with most sharing that the first day or two tend to be the worst before significant improvement begins. Several members offered practical recovery tips, including using ice packs (not heat), keeping the leg elevated, staying off it as much as possible, and using a cane if needed, while also emphasizing the importance of always asking what medication is being injected for safety reasons. A recurring theme was that while the initial discomfort can be intense and sometimes worse than the original pain, the relief typically follows within a few days once the steroid and fluid work through the joint.

I'v had pain lasting a couple of days. I stayed off my feet and used a cane for one day. Sometimes the pain starts the next day because they use a type of novocain which helps for several hours.
