Your knee’s ability to feel and move comes from a complex network of nerves that feed into your knee. These nerves are called genicular nerves, and they include the superior medial, inferior medial, and superior lateral nerves. If any of these nerves get damaged or irritated, knee pain can result. We inject a local anesthetic into the nerves that feed your knee, blocking the transmission of pain signals. Genicular nerves blocks serve two main purposes: pain control and diagnostic testing.
