Hematomas are the most common complication associated with TPI, and occur in approximately 10% of cases, although they are usually quite small. They are more common in aspirin in aspirin users. If they are very painful you can inject 7.5-10 mg of dexamethasone with lidocaine into the site (remembering sterile prep!).

Infections are another potential complication, however I have never experienced this even after carrying out more than 1800 procedures. Of course it is vital to use the sterile technique when carrying out TPI in order to minimize the risk of infection.

Traumeel® cream is very useful after TPI for minimizing pain and bruising. It is also available in an injectable form, which can be injected mixed with anesthetic or after implantation of the pellets (or the next day).
