Yes - and no... The procedure involves an injection of 'dye' into the joint to provide a contrast for an e-ray machine or ultrasound. The injection is usually done after a local anaesthetic has been administered. The initial injection of anaesthetic can be felt as a sharp prick - but takes seconds to work. The needle used for the main procedure shouldn't be felt, as the area should be numb.
