User Reviews for Celecoxib

Had been on 800 mg. Ibuprophen for a few years. Started taking Celebrex on the recommendation of my ortho np. Best thing I have ever done. Just remember to take with largest meal of the day. Rest and weight lose helping also.

I have been instructed by my doctor to stop Celebrex because of an elevated kidney function test.

i sarted taking it for me bacn. Recently my knee has been swollen and stiff. Wiill the med help it?

Celebrex seems to help a little with the pain but does not get rid of the pain totally.

It has done nothing to stop the pain in my right shoulder. I have taken 1 - 200 mg daily for several weeks and are not getting any relief. What should I do? Increase he dosage??

I just began treatment (2 days ago)....can't say yet how well it works.

I have had unbearable pain for most of life due to various accidents & various llnesses (polio, MS & the most recent round of breast cancer.) Many times a new Dr. will want me to try something "new" and, or "better". Nothing else works as well for me.

I was nauseous the first two weeks if I didn't take with a substantial meal. This passed and now I don't take on an empty stomach but I don't have to be so cautious. I've had no other side effects and am happy with the drug.

very short lasting for me and I take 2oomg daily

I AM EVALUATING WHETHER I SHOULD START TAKING CELEBREX FOR OSTEOARTHRITIS/RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS PAINS PARTICULARLY IN FINGER JOINTS.

Didn't work at all, no effect. By the second week I could not urnate. It was shutting down my kidneys. Stopped taking Celebrex and the following day I could go to the bathroom again.

having had l-4,l-5&s-1fusions and having been in an accident my back lower back pain was almost intolerable. Since taking Celebrex for the past week my pain level has decreased 50%. However, I am having trouble breathing when laying down.

My husband has taken this for years. He went off of it due to a poor liver panel and then was put back on after a while because it was all that worked for his thoriatic arthritis pain. When he went back on after a 2 year hiatus he experienced all sorts of weird problems. Bruising was especially bad. If he touched something (literally) with his elbow he would bruise. He ended up wearing elbow pads a lot. He developed a severe neuralgia that effected his arms and shoulders. He has been off the Celebrex for one week and the neuralgia is almost all gone. The bruising has minimized and his pain is manageable. He also at one point experienced skin eruptions right after he went back on the meds. These lasted about a year and were only controlled with a huge vitamin regime. All of the symptoms have started to subside after he stopped taking Celebrex. This is why I feel the issues are drug related. We are very unique in that we have medical insurance because this drug is outrageously expensive. The ins. company made him try 8 other drugs before allowing him to use Celebrex. Most people we know could never afford it.Read More Read Less

IT SEEMS TO RELAX MY ENTIRE BODY.

I'm just hoping it's not habit forming/nor a dependcy drug....

Have taking for a week. I feel drugged, maybe placebo effect? Pain a manageable level. I hope this feeling goes away. I have had to many injections at this point.
