Patient
<___> complaining of swelling right knee.
Improvement with the intramuscular corticosteroid injection that I gave
her about a week or so ago.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION:
EXTREMITIES: Right knee is swollen and slightly warmth to
touch when compared to the mid shaft
and tibia. No tenderness on compression
of the superior pouch.
PROCEDURE: Right knee was aspirated using a 1-1/2-inch
long 21-gauge needle attached to a 10-mL syringe in the lateral approach to the
superior pouch after cleansing the skin with Betadine using ethyl chloride for
anesthesia. 20 mL of clear fluid were
removed and 80 mg of Depo-Medrol was instilled
