Not recommended: If the shots are painful, massage the skin of the upper thigh or belly with an ice cube, then inject humira (adalimumab).

Yes.: As long as it is administered subcutaneously. Have your rheumatology and GI specialist show you how. I prefer the syrigne for my patient, because you know for sure if it is in!
