Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / August 2005took the shot but not sure about side effects
Hi Well I did finally take the shot yesterday and it was a piece of cake. Today however I am not sure. I have a really bad headache and my lower back started hurting last night and it is really flared up bad today, probably worse then I have had in about 7 years. Not sure if it from the enbrel or not. It seem to effect my bladder problem that I have slightly also. I have an appointment for a massage today at noon so will keep that and see if that helps at all. I used to wear orthodics and haven't worn them now for over 3 weeks but the last check at the chiropractor everything looked good and I felt okay, so who knows. It would be a total miracle if I ever wake up in the morning and have one day without any problems. I start work again a week from today so sure hope that I can get something resolved. Well thanks to all of you who told me the shot wasn't that bad, it went fine. Just hope that all this other stuff will be gone soon. thanks Becky Becky, sorry to hear that. About your bladder, is it infected right now? Did you have that checked? Tell your doctor about it. If so, you should probably wait a little bit before your next shot. As far as I am told you should not take Enbrel when you have any kind of active infection going on. I haven't heard about headaches and backaches caused by Enbrel, maybe wait a day and if you feel worse, probably better to see a doctor. Just maybe you had the flare coming anyway, with me Enbrel kicked in right the next day, but with others it takes a little longer. Hope you'll be okay soon!

Carol Hi, the lowerback ache could have something to do with your bladderproblem, when I am having bladderproblems/urinary problems sometimes my kidneys join in and I have these backaches and know it's time to go see a dr. I do not want to scare you, just think it's probably a good idea to have it checked, just to make sure good luck! p.s. let us know how the inflammation is, better, worse or the same? Nikki > Becky, My > daughter always got headaches after the shot of Enbrel.It's one of the > side effects. Carol I do not have a bladder infection, I have interstitial cystitis and that can cause back issues but it is not an infection. Most of the back pain is gone today, just he same old hip pain when I walk. I really think that I should have had some cortisone shots in myhips and try that and it that resolved the problem stayed with the mtx and not added the enbrel, but hat is just me, the doc said see a physical therapist, why he wouldn't give me cortisone shots I don't know. But from what I have read if it is inflammation due to over use enbrel is not going to help that so why he wouldn't let me do that first I ma not sure. Guess I will have to wait and see Thank for the concern Becky > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >> daughter always got headaches after the shot of Enbrel.It's one of the >> side effects.
