Default Works too well???
In the opinon of some, these pain blockers can work too well, at least for some conditions. A study of an experimental drug called tanezumab was done on people suffering from arthritis. It relieved the pain so well people sometimes did things their body should no longer be doing. Some ended up damaging their joints to the point they needed total joint replacement. Because of this, the study was stopped.
