blood in Enbrel syringe | Arthritis Information

Hi, this is my 4th Enbrel injection! I am a little worried, after I finished injecting myself there was some blood in the syringe

Thanks

I'm not sure myself but can you call the enbrel line? Or if not call the tele-nurse at your local hospital. Maybe they can help. Is the enbrel helping any? I had my first injection on Tuesday and am awaiting for something amazing to happen.

Good luck

 I think you are going to be just fine. I'm on Enbrel also and that happened to me many times and I'm still here. I try my best not to hit blood vessel but sometimes I can't help it. I end up with nice bruse that disapeare in a few days and nothing more. I love Enbrel, to me Enbrel is better than other biologics.

Good luck to you         &nb sp;         &nb sp;         &nb sp;      

I am on my 8th injection and I usually hit a blood vessel also. It seems like everyother injection I bruise and draw a little blood. My bruise lasts for the week.

I also nick a blood vessel now and then and it makes a bruise that lasts a few days...not a big deal.  I don't even check anymore, just stick it in and shoot.  After all, that's what the automatic pens do.

I haven't ever had blood in the syringe, but I have had the sight bleed a bite after I was done with my injection.  I almost always have a bruise with my Enbrel injection, but not my MTX. 

I guess it is par for the course
