Hello' has anyone who has tried etanercept ever had any reaction causing nerve pain??
Such as severe burning pain. I have previously been on Hunira and the effect it had causing burning pain in my neck was terrible' it agrevated the nerve pain I already had.
Before I start etanercept I am worried it may do the same again. Is Etanercept going to help me?? How have other people reacted??

    I have no personal experience but wanted to say hello to you and welcome you to our forums.

    I am sure someone will be along soon to answer your query, but I can say I don't remember anyone complaining of it affecting nerve pain. That must have been horrible.

    love

    Hi

    I've been on etanercept for 3 years now and it has made a huge difference to me, it did take a while to start working but I know some people feel the benefit quite quickly it has helped me a lot, I do also take methotrexate but the 2 work well together so I am feeling really well. I hope it works as well for you
