here the pain what you are experiencing could be side effect of humera injection which you are taking. I suggest visit your doctor for further guidelines.
also check weather this pain was started before taking injection or after starting the treatment with humera injection. you have also explain here about the pain and tingling sensation in your hands it can be also related to cervical spine and disc. if there is a pain radiating from your neck to hand level then there might be a possibility you have a issue with your cervical spine or disc level.
to have more clarity for your cervical pain i suggest to visit orthopaedic doctor or a physiotherapist and they will be able to diagnose your issue with different physical test they may ask you to go for some more test like every or blood test i suggest to do needful.
at home i suggest to use hot pack on your painful area like lower rib as well as cervical spine to have shoothing and relaxing effect on your soft tissues which will also help you to have some more pain relief.
Take care
