Re: Emla Cream and Enbrel Shot

[Guest guest]

My kids used it once, it seemed to work, though the nurse said she

thought it was a " mental " aid rather than a pain aid... because she

thought it really would only help dull out the stick of the shot

rather than any subsequent burning or pain from the medicine/vaccine.

Let me know if it helps with the burning. I'm a big baby and my

Humira shots sting a bit. Would be worth it for me if it took that

away

I had never thought of using it. But I do fine with my practice of numbing my injection site very good before and after injecting.
