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.

Brrrrr. Bundle up baby because it's cold outside....
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.
