I have had several therapies already on my osteoarthritic knees: cortizone, Synvisc One, physical therapy. Next is knee replacement but I'd rather keep my own. How can I stay abreast of tanezumab therapy?

Doctors and patients who buy into Pfizer's PR blitz that patients of Tanezumab injured themselves because the pain medication worked "too well", are nothing short of fools. This study included known side-effects left off the "informed consent", falsified medical records, ignoring and failure to report adverse events, i.e., medical neglect, clinics without the permit to do this research, and permanently crippled patients ignored by Pfizer's legal obligations. Pfizer has a history of just such actions. BEWARE of Pfizer clinical trials!
