So far the Humira has not stopped my pain. Next Friday will be my 6th injection. Maybe it takes time to work. I get really stiff in my hip if I sit to long & get up. It will take me a minute to be able to walk. I'm only 46 but feel like 90 literally lol. If I stand for a long period my hip hurts & left lower back hurts. It hurts just to sit or lay. I'm gonna ask my rheumatologist if she will test me for that gene. She believes i have Ankylosis Spondylitis & when I researched SI joints being Sclerotic it said AS and I believe I read AS can cause Uveitis as well. I can't see a chiropractor because it's to much out of pocket for me. I see my rheumatologist again on the 8th & see what she thinks about my cat scan so I can maybe get a definite diagnosis.

The Humira nurse said, give it at least 3 to 4 months. But everyone reacts differently??…??? Also, yes you can have your rheumatologist give you a script for blood work to test genetic marker HLA B27. Maybe discuss other meds that you can try.
