Guest guest Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 I have been on Methotrexate and Humira injections for about 14 months. When beginning the Humira, I started with 1 injection every 2 weeks. I continued to have flares with swelling and severe pain in my hands, wrists, feet, ankles and hips. The methotrexate was increased from 7 pills per week to a 1cc injection weekly. With flares continuing, the Humira was increased to an injection weekly. Now with severe pain continuing in my hands and wrists, my rheumy is considering a change in biologic. I know that all medications work differently for everyone, but was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what to try next? My rhumy is very good at explaining how to use each medication and leaves this decision up to me. Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated!
