Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / April 2005Enbrel and steroid joint injections
I have a small Bakers cyst behind my right knee, so the knee gets stiff etc. When I visited my RD the other day, I asked aboput the possibility of steroid joint injection (I have had them before) and he said that he didn't like the idea of injecting a joint while apatient was taking Enbrel. Has anybody else had this experience?

I will say that most of them have been in my rear and not in a joint but I just had both my shoulders shot when changing from Remicade to Enbrel. Harv Anytime you have an injection you have a small risk of infection. Infection and enbrel do not go together. That might be the reason he doesn't want to inject the joint - he might just want caution since the cyst is small. Maybe....

If my (excellent) hip surgeon hadn't insisted I stop the cyclosporine prior to the second hip replacement I'd be doing a lot better than I am now. I think your RD is being overly cautious. Cheers, Ari  Signaturespammage trappage: replace fishies_ with yahoo I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. Complications in hospital following this resulted in a serious illness. I now need a bone marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a marrow donor: http://www.abmdr.org.au/ http://www.marrow.org/ I just had a finger injected last week. They never turn me down if I really think I need it done. Trust me, they use plenty of betadine, too. There is a very low risk of infection.

Not me I had several joint injections while I was Enbrel. -- MZ Visit my website: http://www.mzuschlag.com Hmmmmm..........my RD sure doesn't follow this line of thinking thank goodness. I have had numerous steroid injections into joints since starting on the enbrel. In fact, last time I saw my RD he injected both shoulders for me.

Thumper >Visit my website: >http://www.mzuschlag.com To reply drop XYZ in address I always have a steroid shot to get me through the summer. No problem with Enbrel. Lyn >>>he said that he >>>didn't like the idea of injecting a joint while apatient was taking >>>Enbrel. >>>Has anybody else had this experience? >>> Thanks folks. I can't force him to do it, but is is good to know that other RDs don't seem to have the same inhibition. Peter I'm on Enbrel. Just had a shot in both my knees today. I feel great.
