Humira question. | Arthritis Information

Hi all and hope everyone is doing well.

My Dr. changed me to Humira from Enbrel hoping for less inflammation and pain. I used the Humira pen this past Tuesday and have spent 2 days in bed with the thigh that I injected in horrible pain. Not right at the injection site but within 6 inches of it.

It seemed like a reaction as I did not injure myself and wonder if anyone else has experienced this? I will be calling my rheumy Monday but you all are such a wealth of information thought I would check here.

Take care

I use Humira but not the pen. My site is only sore for a few minutes after the injection. I would suspect an allergy to the medication. I use the pens too. Doesn't soud quite right to me either. I used the pens never had that although I did it in my stomach as they told me there was less pain there. Call your rheumieHugs Bonny and please call your doc, OK?

Yep, I will call the Dr come tomorrow morning. I sure had high hopes for changing meds so maybe Remicade this time.

Take care everyone.
