I have been taking Humira for 10 years. For the last 5 months I have had burning, mostly at night, on both legs below the knees and on both arms below the elbows. Is there a relation with Humira in your opinion?

I have had rheumatoid arthritis since 1991, I also take Methotrexate (10/2.5mg tablets) once a week.

Good morning, Madam,

The Product Monograph does not describe this type of reaction. Therefore, it would be surprising if Humira was involved in your symptoms, especially considering the particular location of your symptoms.

Do you have skin lesions or is your skin intact?

no lesions, intact skin however the calves are very sensitive to touch.

So it is very surprising that these symptoms are related to taking Humira. I recommend that you see your doctor and tell him or her about the burning. He or she can analyze your symptoms and make a diagnosis.
