Why continue with Humria if Crohns is in remission

My husband has severe Crohn's. He had his colon removed, went to the "Best" NY hospital, "Best" surgeon and had staph infection had to be hospitalized after the colon was removed, had to be on TPN,5 more surgeries later because when they removed colon, small intestine was not put back correctly. Had to have a graph on his abdomen.
He has been through hell and back. His joints are hurting him now. He has been off Humria for almost 1 year now because of all that has happened, and the gastro wants him back on. His Crohns is in remission, so why put him back on this heavy drug?
