What Causes Large Red Spot On Legs And Nausea After Taking Enbrel?

I took only 2 doses of enbrel. One by nurse, one with help of family member. I got large red spot on legs,also very hot. I felt very nauseous and did get sick. My doctor says none of this is a bad sign. Should I try this again. Right now I am in a lot of pain, barely moving!

Enbrel, a tumor necrosis factor inhibitor used to treat certain autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis,ankylosing spondylitis, and plaque psoriasis etc.
Side effects of Enbrel include mild nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, headache, redness or discomfort at the injection site.

Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication to you because he has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects.

As you say that you have a lot of pain , you should stop using etanercept and consult your doctor right away and tell him about the whole history and your symptoms.
Then go further according his advice.

All the best and take care.
