Yes, but expect to get a horrific infection that will probably cost you your leg. The "water" on the knee is an accumulation of fluid in and around the knee joint and is a bit deeper than you think and not always drainable. Also, since you are not a doctor, your diagnosis of "water on the knee" could be incorrect. A doctor would know best.

I did not feel any pain while the fluid was being drained or the cortisone shot administered.
