Among most common causes for such symptoms a urinary tract infection, kidney stone or kidney/bladder condition related to the reason for why Enbrel is used for will have to be ruled in or out. If symptoms do not improve in spite of proper hydration seeking medical attention would be best.

He may be experiencing an infection. Enbrel can lower the body’s ability to fight infections, so a consultation with his doctor is a good idea to determine whether the symptoms are related to an infection or another cause and, if related to an infection, whether his doctor wishes for him to remain on Enbrel.
