Hi I've been doing Humira for a while now and my injection site has been getting soar for a while now after my injection anything I can do to get rid of that? Anyone else have this?

For me, sometimes the injection hurts and then other times it doesn't. I alternate between my thighs and stomach. I usually have a hematoma after I inject in my thighs. It goes away within 24 hours and I'm not usually not bothered. Too many other things in this disease to be concerned about!!

You should use a different injection site each week. I was taught to alternate between left and right thighs and left and right stomach.

I remember Humira being pretty painful, especially in the thighs for me. I could only tolerate it in the stomach. But yes, switch the sites around each time. Are you using the auto-pens? I was never a fan of those either. Seemed more painful then being able to control the injection myself.
