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 think the product is effective but each time I take I experience various side effects such as dizziness, stomach upset/burning, shortness of breath and racing heart. The cost with insurance is is running about $1.75 per pill.

This NSAID has not decreased my heel pain, plantar faciitis, at all. It has actually caused some swelling in hands with soreness, like a muscle strain pain. My elbows have been sore as well at times, not daily like my hands and heels. Going back to Dr. next month.

I had to take a break from taking this because of an insurance change. I had been taking it for 6 mos. My pain started to come back after a couple of days of not taking it. I have had severe RA since 2007, I am also on metho, enbrel, imuran and Vicodin for pain. I hate taking this because it makes me feel horrible (nausea and headaches) but I am able to walk when I take it and I can almost get rid rid of the Vicodin. I was originally taking 2-200mg a day but I reduced it to 1-200mg a day and it still worked fine and less side effects.Read More Read Less

Although my pain is back related.. I have taken celebrex on and off for 8 eight years.In the spring, I broke my ankle and went off celebrex. My Dr.'s and I have long been questioning the effectiveness of the medication and the length of time I have been on it. I have had no side effects--but risk of heart/stroke did worry me. I am experiencing intense pain which may have been controlled all those years by the celebrex. It is undecided what I will do.

I have arthritis in both knees, after two weeks of use I became very dizzy, had a headache, my left foot and leg swelled, and my blood pressure shot up. Not worth it to me.
