Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / October 2005anyone heard this?
I saw an orthopedic doctor yesterday for my hips, he diagnosed bursitis in both hips and the sit bones, so I had my first cortisone injection, it was a little painful not much, the next day however my hip felt worse than I went in. Anyway he said that I was his third patient who had been on enbrel a couple of months and had gotten really severe bursitis and said that in talking to the enbrel manufactures that bursitis is one of the side effects of enbrel. Has anyone else heard of this or experienced this? Just thought that was interesting, just wish the shot would work, said I had to wait 2 weeks at least before they try it again, thanks Becky Becky, I am not on enbrel, but wanted to say ouch and I feel for you. I keep having problems with bursitis and I know that is not a nice feeling. I get bursitis problems from them giving a shot in the hip. I think I also have bursitis problems in the shoulders. I was just reading up about it the other night. So my heart goes out to you and I hope something works for you. Sending healing vibes and bursitis get out of town vibes. ;-)  SignatureLove and hugs to all Good thoughts coming your way too.

I did recently have a reaction to a cortisone shot in my left ankle. It was fine right afterwards, but later that night, my ankle started burning and swelling, and became so sensitive I couldn't stand to have anything touch it, not even pillows. I could not put ANY weight whatsoever on it. However, the next day it was fine. I hope that you get some relief soon, Char My RD says that sometimes a reaction like that happens, though it is rare. I'm sorry that your hip is worse than before-that just really sucks Becky, when I was having injections for my hip bursitis I was always hurting more the next day. However, by the second day after the shot I was much, much better. Hope that will be your experience.

I did have bursitis before I started the Enbrel however. Good Luck. Elizabeth Becky, I don't know anything about the enbrel. You need to give the shots two or three days to see if they will help. When I have a shot I always get worse for a couple of days then things begin to settle down. I hope yours does too. debbie m. > I saw an orthopedic doctor yesterday for my hips, he diagnosed bursitis in > both hips and the sit bones, so I had my first cortisone injection, it was a [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > thanks > Becky |
