It's enough to make anyone wonder what is going on behind the scenes at the drug companies:  I suspect that the huge profits to be made from any drug that can control pain in these inflammatory diseases is affecting their judgment.

If you are using drugs for arthritis pain, please familiarize yourself with the alternatives: yes, it is more work to take charge of your own health.  But at least no-one can argue it's not safer!
