Does this sound like you?
- Knee pain when walking far, on stairs or getting up from a chair
- Stiff knees in the morning or after sitting for a while
- A grinding or crackling feeling in the knee when it moves
- You've been told you have knee osteoarthritis but don't want, or can't have, surgery

If it does, let our doctor assess you before treatment starts.
What is a knee joint injection?
A knee joint injection (hyaluronic acid injection) is another option for easing pain from knee osteoarthritis. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is injected into the knee joint to support the lubricating properties of the joint fluid and help the knee move more easily.
Benefits of a knee joint injection
- Less pain and inflammation: the joint moves better, with less friction between the bones
- Delays surgery: suited to early to moderate knee osteoarthritis, and can delay knee replacement surgery

- People with advanced knee osteoarthritis who can’t have other treatments, for example because of several health conditions or concerns about surgery
- People with patellofemoral joint disorder or patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS): pain at the front of the knee or around the kneecap
