After receiving a gel (hyaluronic acid) knee injection, the most important thing is to avoid straining your knee joint for a couple of days.
Post-Injection Recommendations:
- Rest and Avoid Strenuous Activities: For the first two days after the injection, avoid activities that put excessive stress on your knee. These include:
- Jogging
- Soccer
- Tennis
- Heavy Lifting
- Prolonged Standing
- Manage Potential Pain and Swelling: Temporary pain or swelling in the knee joint is common after the injection.
- Follow your Doctor's specific instructions: Your doctor may have personalized recommendations depending on your specific situation and the type of injection received.
In summary, rest your knee for a couple of days, manage any pain or swelling, and follow your doctor’s personalized advice.
