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.

I had relief from hip pain within hours of taking my first dose. I am able to be more active, but still have stiffness if I'm on my feet for a long period of time. In addition, I am experiencing bouts of sudden, extreme fatigue and have noticed a mild, constant ringing in my ears and my ankles swell every day. I am considering going off of it for a few days to see what happens. For pain relief, though, it's wonderful.

Taken when arthritic pain is very bad. Only taken when necessary. Have osteo arthritis. Have had good results so far. It doesn't obliterate the pain but makes it much more bareable.

I've had RA for 12 years now and I am now 24. I have been on all medications that you could think of. Altho this drug helps with the pain I find that it wears off towards evening time and I am very tired. I also have become depressed on this medication and so my doctor told me to stop taking it. Altho it helped with some of the pain it really is not a drug for me.

The doctor gave me celebrex for the pain in my hips. After only 3 capsules, I awoke in the morning with a major headache, and my face felt very hot. My face was bright red, swollen nose and my eyelids were nearly swollen shut. The speed of this reaction was incredible. I am in the 4th day after this and am still not back to feeling better.

I recently found how well Celebrex works for me when I had to stop taking it 1 1/2 weeks ago because of pneumnonisa & a bleeding ulcer! I hurt all over - in places I ever even knew had pain. I can't wait to start it again in 4 days!!

Maybe somewhat better than aspirin, but debateable.
