A member asked:

Was told to switch legs every other week for humira (adalimumab) injections. diagnosed with dvt in right leg. should i still use humira (adalimumab) on right leg or only left?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: This is really no good medical reason to alternate legs with injections only every 2 weeks.
