This sounds like a question for your doctor.

I agree with @janbb that you should discuss your concerns with your doctor. That being said, I could not find anything that listed CHF as a contraindication for Orencia. Since it is an IV infusion, there could be risks associated with getting too much fluid, but that is something you would need to discuss with your doctor.
