Clinical trials have shown promising results with Humira (adalimumab) for treating HS. Nearly half of participants who received weekly injections experienced at least a 30% reduction in pain.

Given your specific medical history and concerns, it's crucial to have a detailed discussion with your healthcare provider about potential side effects and how they might affect your particular situation. Some members of myHSteam have reported positive experiences with surgery combined with biologics like Humira. Studies have shown that people who take biologics before surgery generally heal just as well as those who don't, with no higher risk of complications.

However, since you have specific concerns about muscle damage from previous surgery, your doctor may need to create a more personalized treatment approach that takes this into account.
