The doctor will come to have a look at your knee and they will put some numbing cream on your knee.
This cream numbs your skin so your joint does not feel the medicine.

The doctor will then put a clear plastic bandage over the cream on your knee. This helps the numbing cream to do its work and keeps the cream from coming off or getting on your clothes.

The clear bandage will feel soft and smooth when you touch it. The numbing cream under the cling wrap plaster will feel squishy when you touch it.
The numbing cream and the cling wrap plaster will need to stay on your knee for some time (about 1 hour) to do its job.
