Guest guest Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Last September I was diagnosed with PA and started on Enbrel. Although the Enbrel was great for my skin, I was having terrible injection site reactions, which drove me crazy, and switched to Humira in January. I don't feel any different on the Humira but have noticed that my skin is getting bad again. At the end of January I fainted in my home and broke my ankle. EKGs and blood work checked out normal and the ER doctor thought the light-headedness might be a side effect from the Humira. Personally I think it was a freak accident. Now I'm having shoulder pain and in looking up bursitis and tendinitis on the internet yesterday, I came across something that said TNF medications can cause this. Unfortunately I can't find that same website today. Found something from the Cleveland Clinic that says 'other diseases or conditions that weaken shoulder muscles are rheumatoid arthritis, gout, psoriasis, etc. " Any opinion on this? I'm going to see an orthopedic tomorrow and have an appt with my rheumatologist next week. Do you think these can be related? I also have stiffness in my left hip when I stand and am starting to have pain in my foot when I walk. Sometimes I think it's my imagination. I don't want to sound like a hypochondriac! Thanks for listening and sorry for the long message. Elaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
