HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, intra-articular injection is invasive procedure and painful, here it needs to be ruled out for internal bleeding, trauma, you can wait for few days and NSAID can be tried till then and best drug would be Tab Diclofenac 50 mg once in day hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
