    Arthrosamid: The Knee Osteoarthritis Injection FAQ | Complete Physio

    Arthrosamid is a single injection for knee osteoarthritis that can provide lasting relief for many patients. In this FAQ our team answers the questions we hear most often in clinic, from how quickly it works to recovery, cost and how it compares to other injections. Most patients start to notice an improvement at around 4 to 6 weeks, with the truer test at 12 weeks. For those who respond well, Arthrosamid can give 3 to 5 years of reduced pain and improved function, and the injection can be repeated. Chapters: 0:00 How soon it works and how long it lasts 0:25 What the procedure involves 0:41 Before and after: rest, driving and bringing someone 1:46 Medication and pain relief 2:26 If it does not work: surgery is still an option 2:41 Timing around steroid, hyaluronic acid and PRP injections 2:50 Cost, insurance and the NHS 3:27 Steroid injection vs Arthrosamid 3:53 Bone-on-bone arthritis and how Arthrosamid works 4:27 Both knees, what it is licensed for, and repeating the injection Arthrosamid is an outpatient procedure carried out under ultrasound guidance, with a large volume of local anaesthetic so it is well tolerated. It is licensed in the UK for knee osteoarthritis. Whether it is right for you depends on your knee, which our team will assess as part of a screening process.
