Has anyone taken Orencia shots for joint pain, and how did it work out?
The search results don't contain specific member experiences with Orencia for lupus joint pain. However, they do show that joint pain is very common with lupus—92% of MyLupusTeam members reported painful swollen joints in a survey.
For lupus arthritis and joint pain, doctors typically start with NSAIDs like ibuprofen or naproxen. If those don't help, they may prescribe medications like hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil), methotrexate, or corticosteroids like prednisone.
Since your insurance approved Orencia, it's worth connecting directly with other MyLupusTeam members who might have experience with it. You can post your question in the community to get firsthand experiences from people who've tried this specific treatment for their joint pain.
Congratulations on getting the insurance approval—that's often a huge hurdle! Your rheumatologist can also discuss what to expect and monitor how well it works for you.
