It can also serve as a starting point for discussions or conversations with your doctor or rheumatologist to find out if Enbrel® (etanercept) may be right for you.

 Symptoms checklist Yes No
Chronic lower back pain that is worse after you have slept or been inactive, and improves after exercise, a hot bath, or a shower
Pain and stiffness in your hips
Joint pain and inflammation in your knees and ankles
Limited range of motion in your spine and hips

Chronic neck pain
Inflammation of your eyes
Fatigue associated with any of the above symptoms
