Injection site reaction

[Vjartist]

So, I'm on my 5th Enbrel inj. I did injected on Thursday and today my inj site is raised and really red. This has never happened with any of the previous injections. It also hurts to touch. Has anyone experienced this??

Yes it has happened to me. I told the dr. about it and she had me tested by an allergist. Turns out i am allergic to this drug . Now we know not to use any drugs in the same family . I would check with your doctor before you inject again. Good luck. i hope you find something to work for you!

I get it too. Injection site reaction...google it. Fairly common with Enbrel. Worse on belly than legs. I am allergic to preservative in Humira but this is different. It is only at injection site where that wad everywhere. Check with doctor.
