What will I experience during and after the procedure?

Your joint area will be numbed so you do not feel anything related to the arthrographic procedure. You may experience a slight pinprick and momentary burning as the anesthesia is injected into the joint area. You may feel a fullness as the joint is filled and hear gurgling when the joint is moved.

After the examination, you may experience swelling and discomfort or hear a crackling noise in the joint. You may apply ice to the joint to reduce swelling if it is bothersome. A mild over-the-counter analgesic can be taken for pain. These symptoms usually disappear after 48 hours. Contact your doctor if they persist after two days.
