Measure
Aspiration
Participants assigned to this arm receive aspiration of the joint alone in which a needle will be introduced into the knee joint to withdraw the blood that collects within the knee.
Aspiration With Injection
Participants assigned to this arm receive aspiration of the knee joint and an injection of 20cc bupivacaine 0.5% with 1:200,000 epinephrine
Control
Participants assigned to this arm receive no injection or aspiration therapy.
