No. I have a significant fear of needles and had my knee drained of fluid followed by a cortisone injection. The doctor used a freeze/numbing spray on my knee topically and then injected the knee with some type of anesthetic. The only minor pain I felt was the injection for the anesthetic. I did not feel any pain while the fluid was being drained or the cortisone shot administered.
