What Causes Swollen Ankles, Headache And Neck Pain While On Humira?
My husband has been on Humira since October for RA(when he was first diagnosed) and has been doing well. Yesterday, both his ankles swelled and has a headache and neck ache. The only change in his diet has been he has been drinking vinegar with honey for 3 days prior. We are not sure if the vinegar could be causing an interaction, this is a side effect from the Humira or he is having a RA flair up.

Humira(adalimumab), a TNF blocker can worsen congestive heart failure or cause new onset CCF leading to ankle edema.First to rule out that for bilateral ankle swellings.
