Its become quite clear that some members on the forum are being told by their doctors that its ok to continue Humira injections before surgery even though I've read that one should stop it 2 weeks - 10 days prior to surgery to prevent infection/complications. Some members have dealt with infection after surgery because they continued with Humira. Is it not best to stop it prior to surgery to prevent complications/infection?
