Guest guest Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 , I've been injecting MTX since Aug and have done 4 Enbrel injections now, so I do three a week now. The needles are only 1/2 inch long and 27 guage, very thin, so almost NO pain! I promise. Also there is no side effects from injecting MTX compared to oral.
