I was in a lot of pain in my lower back and shooting pain down my leg for months, and had increasing difficulty in walking and sleeping. I had been forced to use a cane, and a scooter to get around and I could no longer walk any distance. I had to stop physical therapy because the pain was too bad and epidural injections seemed to offer little relief. The MRI indicated that I had tissue from a her...
Joint damage from Lime. I took 400mg for seven days. Terrible fever, fast heart, heart pain and a heart attack on seventh day. Dr. said I was allergic to it. I would never take again.

This drug smooths the pain a bit but I still can have acute pain in my thumb joints. I also use a brace on my left thumb and have been warned that the right thumb is also affected by arthritis or joint wear and tear.

Been taking it for over 10 years, after a different arthritis medication got recalled. Dr. advised me to cut back. Started having pain in chest when I swallowed and in stomach. Now have ulcers from it. Advised not to use aspirin, aleve, advil, ibuprofen (which I had used only occasionally), and no more celbrex...I believe it caused these ulcers in my throat and stomach.

I think this product works great! My arthritis pain in my knee was gone in days. I only take this med when needed for 3-4 days. Make sure you take it in the morning with a good full breakfast. I've had no stomach problems taking it in this way.
