@nana59, Google "ask a patient Humira".  There are comments from patients about various side effects.

Just wondering if anyone has had worsening pain while being treated for arthritis with Humira.  I started this med in October and feel as though my pain is worse.  I have a doctor's appointment in two weeks and will discuss this with him,  but I'm curious if anyone has had increased joint pain with this med.  I have struggled with arthritis since 2002, so I know when something has changed.

With arthritis, it's a trial and error process.    When you chat with your MD, go to the appointment having done some research on Humira side effects.   

I have RA and got great results with prednisone, but it has it's own side effect problems.  Now, I'm on Enbrel, and am happy with the results.  Still on a minimal dose of prednisone, but I'm tapering off.   

We're all different, and you may have to try a few things until you find what's best for you.  Make peace with the trial and error process.   It is what it is.
