What is ultrasound guided injection of wrist pain?
This technique uses FDA approved medication, which is injected, directly into the pain area under ultrasound guidance. This technique has the following benefits:
– Helps the radiologist to accurately identify the inflamed tendon or bursa, which is important to confirm the clinical examination.
– Allows the radiologist to accurately localize and effectively administer the medicine to one or more compartments of the painful area “if necessary” resulting in better and faster pain relief.
– The patient benefits the most by having the medication in the right spot without pain or complications.
What happens during the procedure?
– The patient is injected a numbing local anesthetic. A mild burning sensation can be felt due to the numbing anesthetic.
– The radiologist then uses an ultrasound probe to guide the needle to the painful area.
– The medication is then injected in the exact location.
– The injection needle is then removed.
– The patient can leave immediately after the injection. Some patients may be asked to wait for re assessment.
