Steroid Joint Injections
Steroid Joint Injection Cost in Northern Ireland
A private steroid joint injection at JACE Private Hospital costs £370 for new patients: a £220 consultation with Mr Brian Hanratty followed by the £150 injection, if it is the right treatment for you. Returning patients pay £310 for a review and injection. Assessment always comes first, so you are not injected unless it is appropriate.

Recovery
Aftercare and going home
Steroid injections are generally very safe, but some people have temporary side effects: a short-lived increase in pain at the injection site, skin discolouration, facial flushing, difficulty sleeping, changes to your period, or raised blood sugar if you have diabetes.
Your consultant explains what to expect and when to seek advice.
