i heard last night about a biologic agent, ( sounds like something out of a spy movie) called tanezumab that is an monoclonal antibody against nerve growth factor which is being developed by Pfizer to treat pain. You would get one shot every 4 weeks. So 13 shots a year. By the way the shots cost $10,000 each. Im sure most of us could swing an extra $130,000 a year to treat our pain.

If you ask for this under the new health care plan im pretty sure this is where the death panels come in.
