That's an interesting question! However, "own blood injections" (often called PRP - platelet-rich plasma therapy) and osteoarthritis fall outside the scope of rheumatoid arthritis treatments, so it's not something that can be helpfully addressed here.

That's an interesting question! However, "own blood injections" (often called PRP - platelet-rich plasma therapy) and osteoarthritis fall outside the scope of rheumatoid arthritis treatments, so it's not something that can be helpfully addressed here.

If you're curious about injection-based treatments specifically for rheumatoid arthritis, there are some well-established options worth knowing about, including biologic injections such as:

- Enbrel (etanercept)
- Humira (adalimumab)
- Cimzia (certolizumab pegol)
- Orencia (abatacept)

These are self-injectable biologics that many myRAteam members use at home with great success.

For any new or alternative treatments, it's always best to speak with your rheumatologist to find what's most appropriate for your specific situation.
