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 am 46 and have wear and tear arthritis (osteoarthritis) in both knees. I need to have them replaced but I am too young. I was taking Tramadol and BC Powder for arthritis and got only minor relief. Celebrex has nearly completely removed the pain. I still cannot run and play but I have nearly no pain. Only side affect is diarea (minor). I take blood pressure meds but checked with my pharmasist and got the ok.

I was satisfied with the pain relief from Celebrex. I developed eye discomfort, discomfort would sometimes be pain, and it wasn't going away. I was disppointed because I finally found something to help my back (lumbar herniated disc) and it caused this side effect. Had my eyes checked and luckily no damage was done. It really freaked me out and I quit taking it immediately.

After first dose experienced severe tinnitus/roaring in ears. Tried again few days later and same result. Stopped taking it altogether. Vioxx was much better tolerated years ago.

This seems to have reduced the joint pain at times, but the side effects of bloating, stomach cramping, makes this tough to choose which pain would easier to live with! Doubling over stomach pain or the pain and crippling in my hands, knees, elbows and wrists.

After taking it for a week I felt like I was 21 again. I am 51. I could bend, squat, and in general move again. It was awesome. I have been on it for almost two years. I am now having a lot of fatigue that I am wondering if it is related to taking this drug. I have a seriously painful herniated disc in my lower back and I am a physical education teacher.

I've been taking Celebrex for over 10 years. I wouldn't be able to walk without it. No side effects so far.

Celebrex has taken away the daily migranes i have due to a shoulder injury. It has affected my heart however, and find myself aggitated and spun a bit. I'm trying not to take it, but it really does work, however, the side effects i feel are very serious, so, i have been going on it and off of it when i feel serious side effects such as; breathing and heart problems, irritation/liver kidney toxins, and stomach pain. yikes. Back to Butterbur and White Willow with Feverfew. Sometimes Immitrex too. Read More Read Less

This drug killed my Dad after two weeks in 2002. He never got to see the twins, now 6, I was pregnant with at the time... He had a severe rash on his chest & then fell over dead at 58. People should be in jail for selling and approving this for sale. My Dad was great.
