Some issues Dr. Gurpreet S Padda, MD can help you with:

Joint Injections

A joint is any area of the body where two bones connect. Due to injury or disease, the space between the two bones can sometimes become swollen and inflamed, which leads to pain and a loss of mobility. Injection and aspiration are two tools that physicians use to treat joint pain locally without needing to perform surgery.

Both injection and aspiration are techniques that involve inserting a needle connected to a syringe directly into the joint. Aspiration involves the removal of excess fluid, and injection is the placement of medication directly into the joint space via the needle. Both procedures may be performed at the same time. In both cases a local anesthetic may be used, the skin will be cleaned and disinfected, and then the needle will be inserted. In some cases, especially if the injection or aspiration is in a large and deep joint such as the hip or spine, ultrasound may be used to guide the needle to the exact location desired.

In some cases, irritation to the joint can cause fluid to build up so significantly that the joint hurts and can no longer move well. Aspiration removes some of the excess fluid and relieves the pressure. In addition, aspiration can be used to provide a sample of joint fluid if it needs to be examined microscopically for the presence of white blood cells, bacteria, or crystal formations.

Certain injuries and diseases that affect joints are inflammatory in nature, such as rheumatoid arthritis, tendonitis or gout. These diseases may be helped by the local injection of anti-inflammatory medications directly into the affected joint. In this case, corticosteroids such as methylprednisone are usually used. Relief from the pain may be felt right away and may last for weeks or even months.

In some cases, such as with osteoarthritis, the cartilage buffer between the two bones wears down and pain comes from bones rubbing against each other. In this case, injection of a lubricating agent such as hyaluronic acid may be beneficial. It provides a slippery cushion between the bones to relieve pain that can last for months.

I have been seeing Dr. Padda for 2 years now. He is an excellent pain management doctor. There are two issues I have: (1)you will never be seen on time for your scheduled appointment & (2) no anesthesia is given for your injections. He has what they call "Fast Pass", where you pay $50 to be the next patient put in to a room if you want to be seen at your scheduled appointment time. I have spent hours after my appointment time just to be seen by Dr. Padda when I don't pay for the "Fast Pass". I am only still with him because of the results I have gotten from the treatments he has provided . I think he over books his patients & that is the reason for never being seen on time. I have had injections from other pain management doctors and I have always been given a local anesthetic before the actual injection, not with Dr. Padda. I say once again he knows the human body and the treatments for pain. He doesn't have the best bedside manner (very quick, in & out type of doctor). He is very honest and upfront, which I appreciate. Basically, if I could find another doctor with his experience, knowledge and help with my pain I would switch due to the two above mentioned reasons.
