User Reviews for Celecoxib

I've started experiencing alot of headaches

For post-op shoulder pain. Took for 3 days..liked that I only took 1X daily, but had severe abdominal cramping and diarrhea. Also did not seem to control my pain.

I took at 200mg capsule of Celebrex at 3:30, at 6:30 I was in the emergency room. My palms started itching, then my feet & head. Within 15 minutes I was itching over most of my body and my skin turned bright red. Shortly after, my face blew up like a balloon. I could barely speak. My arms, hands, fingers and feet also swelled up. From the time I first started itching until the full on swelling took about 10 minutes. Upon arrival to the emergency room they immediately took me into a room and started an IV. 30 minutes later, the itching was gone, my skin color returned to normal and most of the swelling had subsided. I was there for 3 hours before 90% of the swelling went away. I left there with 2 epi pens and instructions not to take any more Celebrex.Read More Read Less

Before the warnings came out about celebrex, I had been taking it for aprox 2yrs. It worked great! My Dr decided that he would change to something less "dangerous" called Nabumetone. Another 2yrs passed, and pain was my middle name. I begged him to change me back over, which he did! I can once again get up in the am w/o crying. I LOVE IT!!

I HAD NO SIDE EFFECTS FROM TAKING, I FELT BETTER AND COULD MOVE AROUND BETTER, THIS IS THE BEST THING I HAVE TAKEN TO HELP ME WITH ARTHRITIS.

I can now go shopping without pain and my back is also pain-free - it's been a miracle for me.

taking 1 200mg every day relieves my knee joint pain. because it makes my bowels loose, i only take it every other day and it still controls my pain

this treatment is awsome. I love drugs.

My BP has gone very high, even with my BP med

I have not been on the medication for long only less than 30 days. I do not notice a difference as of yet but I hope I do soon because I stay in constant pain and discomfort.

good

Very helpful for arthritis pain, stiffness in hands, neck, knees, feet. Older medications cuased gastric irritation and ulcers. Take with food.

afrer popping a vertabre on a trip I have used this drug intermittmently since.

This drug relieved my back pain.

In Oct. 2008 at age 57 took Celebrex 2X daily for 2.5 months for pain from spondylolisthesis (L-5 slipped forward 40%) from motor veh. accident and general arthritic joint pain. It was a miracle drug! It allowed me to walk and stand, and exercise in a pool without pain. At 2.5 mos. allergic reaction-facial cheeks turned red, then dry, cheeks peeled and burned. Stopped for 1 mo. with pain returning. Tried Celebrex 2nd time-same allergic reaction. Stopped for another mo., tried 3rd time with same allergic reaction. Had no choice but to have triple fusion on my back to relieve pain enough to stand and walk. At 4 mos. after back surgery I took 2 Aleve daily for 6 mos. for arthritis and back stiffness with good pain relief. Then I switched to 2 naproxin (generic Aleve)daily and cheeks turned red, burned, peeled again. Now taking 1 naproxin daily and cheeks are not red but still dry. Exercising in 91 degree pool 3or4 times weekly works wonders on joint pain. I highly recommend Celebrex for those who could tolerate any side effects. Always take with food or stomach hurts.

I have tried to stop it several times, but do to a fx heel (no tx) it becomes difficult to walk. It also helps with joint pain

I was just warned by my neurologist that this one medicine is the most dangerous drug to take as far as causing permanent damage to the inner workings of the kidneys.Once damage these fibers DO NOT replace themselves. So celebrex does nothing but damage to your kidneys
