INR® Patented anti-TNF (etanercept) treatment for back pain and sciatica

It is Anti-TNF which from the website is "TNF is the name of the immune signaling molecule that is the master regulator of the inflammatory response in the human body. Excess TNF is associated with inflammation i.e. pain, swelling, and redness of the affected area. Excess TNF is found in a wide variety of inflammatory diseases and disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis, spine pain, disc herniation, and sciatica. Drugs that neutralize TNF have proven to be such important breakthrough therapeutics that their worldwide sales are now in excess of $15 billion per year."

Laura's gone through 2 ADRs and a fistful of knee surgeries, all the while with a essentially zero TNF level. We had it tested several times on our own and watched it on all of the pre-op blood tests. This treatement might work wonders if you have that problem but simple presence of pain doesn't mean you do.
