Treatment information
Tennis elbow injection consultations in Sheffield and Cowes
Discuss tennis elbow and whether a steroid injection may be appropriate in Sheffield or Cowes. Assessment first, with risks and listed prices explained.
A place to begin
Tennis elbow is a concern you can discuss at Rapid Joint Relief. An appointment gives you a chance to explain elbow pain and ask whether an injection may be appropriate. It does not assume that an injection is the right choice simply because tennis elbow has been mentioned.
An assessment comes first and an injection is only given if clinically appropriate. The clinician will consider your individual circumstances and talk about risks and alternatives. Results vary and are not guaranteed. General information about steroid injections cannot tell you what will happen in your own case.

Information
Who it may help
If elbow pain is something you want to understand, bring your questions to a consultation in Sheffield or Cowes. You can explain what you have been told, what treatment you have already discussed and what you would like clarified about an injection option.
A website page cannot establish whether your elbow symptoms are tennis elbow or confirm that they need an injection. There is no automatic treatment attached to a diagnosis or a booking. The purpose of the appointment is to assess suitability rather than select a treatment by its name.
What happens at your appointment
Talk about your symptoms and relevant history. Tell the clinician about medicines such as blood thinners, allergies, infections and diabetes. If you have concerns about a previous injection or the possible side effects of another one, include those in the conversation.
Sarah is an Orthopaedic Physiotherapy Practitioner and prescriber, with 29 years in musculoskeletal care. She has an NHS role alongside the clinic and has been injecting for over 16 years. Ask for an explanation of the proposed options, their risks and any alternatives before deciding.
Possible side effects and risks
Steroid injections can reduce inflammation and pain, but they are not suitable for everyone. Possible side effects include temporary pain or a flare, skin thinning or lightening at the injection site and facial flushing. People with diabetes may have temporarily raised blood sugar. Infection is a rare possible complication.
These are general risks to discuss, not a prediction of what you will experience. Ask the clinician about the particular treatment being considered and what advice applies to you. The NHS steroid injection page linked below provides further reading without replacing a personal assessment.
Price
The existing price list shows a new patient consultation with corticosteroid injection to one joint at £170, the two-joint service at £320 and follow-up consultation and injection at £150. Read the exact service descriptions below and on the pricing page.
For an elbow concern, ask which named service, if any, is relevant after assessment. Do not assume an injection is included regardless of suitability. An appointment does not guarantee that treatment will be recommended or that a particular result will follow.

Questions to prepare
Your questions matter.
Is an injection always appropriate for tennis elbow?
No. The clinician needs to assess your individual situation first. An injection is only given if clinically appropriate, after discussion of risks and alternatives.
Can this page diagnose my elbow pain?
No. This is general information to help you prepare questions. Discuss your symptoms and any existing diagnosis at your consultation.
What should I mention before a steroid injection?
Mention medicines, including blood thinners, allergies, infections and diabetes. You can also ask about previous treatment and any concerns about possible side effects.
Can I discuss elbow pain at either clinic?
Yes. You can book a consultation in Sheffield or Cowes. An appointment is an opportunity for assessment, not a guarantee that an injection will be recommended.
