Day 13 on Enbrel

Left Knee on April 17, 2013 (13 days on Enbrel)

Tonight I take my third shot of Enbrel. The second shot did sting a lot more than the first shot. I think I will let it warm up longer than 15min this time. It's suppose to sting when it's cold. I do have to say that my knee is still getting better! Last weekend I did have a minor setback when I decided to go fishing on foot in a woodsy/hilly area. My knee has given me trouble for so long now (three months+), that I've lost major muscle mass in my leg. So that fact didn't help me in the woods. When I got home my knee had inflamed more. So I was bummed and have shut down my activities for now.

The good news, is that I got the additional swelling to go away after a few days of ice and elevation. If you take a look at the photo in my Day 1 on Enbrel I'm sure you'll agree that the swelling has gone down. And even more so from my first posting on this.

So I am happy. I just need to start using my leg more to begin building my muscles back up.
