The most junior resident medical officer soon becomes proficient at lumbar puncture and pleural aspiration but placement of a needle in a synovial cavity is approached with less confidence. Although only a part of the management of soft tissue rheumatic conditions, a carefully given corticosteroid injection can be dramatically effective for severe pain localised to a bursa, tendon sheath or synovial space.
最年轻的住院医师很快就能熟练掌握腰椎穿刺和胸腔穿刺技术，但在将针插入滑膜腔时就没那么自信了。尽管这只是软组织风湿性疾病治疗的一部分，但谨慎给予的皮质类固醇注射对于局限于滑囊、腱鞘或滑膜间隙的严重疼痛可能会有显著效果。
