Enbrel: Day 3 - In the leg

Last night I administered my Enbrel in my right thigh - a site I consider quite painful. As I inserted the needle the first time, the pain was so much I had to withdraw the needle from my leg. The second attempt was much better, but the site reaction was intense. The area became quite red, swollen, itchy, and hot to touch, with approximately 12 small bumps emerging around the injection site. Almost 24 hours later, the area is still visibly red, hot, and swollen.
