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 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. Alan 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
