I was fortunate to have been randomized to the section receiving the procedure immediately, otherwise I would have had to wait six months for the procedure. I’m under the impression only Interventional
Radiologists do the GAE procedure. I don’t know if I would have had the patience to wait six months. I hope you get relief very soon. Best of luck to you!

I had the GAE twice in an attempt to cure recurrent hemarthrosis which is internal bleeding into the knee socket, without trauma or apparent cause. Creates painful swelling and inflammation. First GAE helped a little but second GAE did not help at all. I hope you find the best answer soon.
