MTX and Enbrel Injection Question | Arthritis Information

Hi Becky,

I gave myself Mtx injections and now I give myself the Enbrel injections, "piece of cake". The hard part is learning to give yourself injections in the first place. I use the 25mg 2x week and they don't hurt at all. Good luck with the Enbrel, it has helped a lot of us.

Barb,

Thanks so much for responding...I'm relieved to hear that Enbrel isn't much different than Mtx.   I've got the mtx injections down to a science, so hopefully won't have any trouble with the Enbrel.

I give myself enbrel injects no problem, I find that in the stomach from underneath gives me no pain.  Remember to leave the enbrel out for 30 minutes before injecting.  If you do feel it, several people told me to ice the area a minute or two before injection and they don't feel it.  meme
