Avatar n tn Can a perispinal etanercept injection help heal severe pain linked to the piriformous muscle?
Avatar m tn Can anyone tell me if peri spinal etanercept works ? I have had four back surgeries since 2000. The last two were for decompression of the L-4, L-5 and S-1 nerve roots.

29837 tn?1414534648 Today I got not one but two calls from the FDA, so apparently my persistence is paying off. They are going to do whatever the pharmaceutical companies suggest, especially since there are no other alternative drugs except Interferon and Ribavirin. My contact at Vertex, who I just spoke to, is going to look once more into the IND application (Compassionate Use), and see if there's been any changes in their (Vertex) policy for allowing it.

Avatar m tn For people with 1b Sovaldi and Riba seems to be the ticket. Later this year the FDA should approve the companion drug for Sovaldi and do away with the Riba.
