One Doctor prescribed Inj Enbrel The other says that we may try first Inj Endonax Kindly tell me which one is better and side effects.
There seems to be inflammation (Synovitis). Steroid injections do help to reduce the swelling and inflammation and symptomatic relief. If intolerable you can go for that along with prolonged rest.
The other injections helps in bone density improvement, if affordable you can take on it on your doctor's consultation. Studies have shown good results.
