Surgery and humira

Hi,

This is a question that you really need to put to your Doctors.

I had surgery recently and did not have to interrupt my usual injection schedule, but everyone and the way their treatment is handled is different.

Regards,

Mark

Agreed that your doctor should be the one to make that call. I am going to have surgery soon and my doc told me to stop the Humira at once.

Good luck! - Amy
 
I asked my GI doc the same question when I was preparing to have carpal tunnel surgery. He sais no, if the other doc was following "normal sterile surgical procedures" it would not be necessary to stop the H. In addition I have had a fistulotomy while on the H with no problems. My blood counts are all in the normal range, and that's with weekly injections.
