New Research on Osteoarthritis: A Report from the American College of Rheumatology Meeting

I have more than a few osteoarthritis patients who are somehow under the impression that researchers have given up on them.

I too am excited to see research for osteo versus rheumatoid arthritis.  I have taken Celebrex since it first came out for generalized DJD that has affected my hip, knee, wrist, tmj and most recently cervical spine including C1-C3 and dens.  Is there any research for medications for drugs like tanezumab, but can by used systemically?  What do you know about Limbrel?  Is it more like a food supplement?  Can it be taken in conjuntion with Celebrex?  I also take Methadone for my chronic cervical neck pain.

Laughing hi,

i started the 3rd phase of tanezumab for the knee ,i know i,m not on a placebo as i,m about 75 per cent pain free and 60 per cent less stiffness and only had one shot. will have a second shot mon and i,m in great shape. a real wonder drug. it helped my hand and foot pain also but more in the knee.

i did have pins and needles in fingers and still do but lesser degree so hope that passes.            very promising drug.

I'm on my 4th IV Infusion of Tanezumab and I'm VERY CONCERNED!

I'm 60 YO was very active. Now lately I seem to have muscle weakness, am VERY fatigued and have a tingling in limbs.

Anyone else out there with these issues?

I'm due for my 5th Infusion and wondering if I should drop out of Pizer's Test program for fear of lingering long term damage to my muscles???

PLEASE HELP!!
