Humira Injection Site

I was on Enbrel for yrs when it stopped being effective, my dr switched me to Humira. First injection went fine. As my aches got worse (until it kicks in) I was anxious for my second injection. Yes they sting pretty bad but not as bad as the RA. I am greatful for the meds.
After the second injection, I noticed the first injection sight was red and puffy. Do I need to worry? I just want it to work!

You should probably have it looked at, to be sure. It seems odd that a new injection would cause a reaction at the old site.

How close were they administered?

I had the same happen. I called Humira and they had never heard of it. I've been on it 3 months now. That was the only time it happened.
I was letting it sit out to room temp. It doesn't tell you to. Believe it or not it didn't sting any worse! Stings anyway. I alternate leg/stomach/leg/stomach.
I may get 4 days relief from my ra. The rest ofthe 2 wks I am in pain.

If you use a fatty area on lower tummy- pitch some- and get Humira to room temperature- shots a lot nicer. I keep reading questions where I’m confused - I have a Humira nurse that I speed to weekly.
Again- everyone on Humira use it thru Mayo Clinic
