I recently had knee replacement. One of the questions before the surgery was "have you ever had anything injected into your knee?" I was told that it could make replacement more difficult. That the majority of RA patients ended up needing replacement eventually anyway. BTW replacement was the best thing I ever did. Should have done it sooner.

It seems that some individuals with rheumatoid arthritis have tried various injections for knee pain, including corticosteroid injections. One member mentioned living pain-free for three months after each injection with no limitations. However, it's important to note that experiences with treatments can vary from person to person. If you're considering gel shots or any other treatment for knee pain and fluid, it would be best to consult with your doctor to discuss the potential benefits and risks in your specific case.
