Anyone had Injections for knee osteoarthritis?

I had two injections; one was cortisone and the other was a gel. Both were extremely painful for me. Enough so that I couldn't even consider another. I'm wondering if anyone else found this to be true? Maybe it's just the doctor who administered it?

My doctor used ultrasound to administer the hyaluronic acid correctly. He did a great job of numbing me and I felt nothing

I had a cortisone injection in my knee years ago and it was incredibly painful. I never had another.

I had gel injected - hylauronic - and it did nothing. It hurt. Physical therapy and orthotics to improve my gait have been most helpful.

I had gel injections in my knees a few years ago. They were moderately painful and worked well for six months or so, but then wore off. Eventually I had TKRs on both knees.
