Not too good for me. I only took it for about a week. My doctor had prescribed it for Lupus/Rheumatoid artrhitis. It didn’t help the pain much at all, and after a few days, I had the worst stomach pains-I almost called an ambulance! Now, I only take it when I can’t stand the pain in my hip and shoulder, and only for one or two days-any more than that, and my stomach starts hurting too bad to take it anymore.

Betty s Arthritis and Whiplash By taking a special stomach med [prescribed] each morning the stomach problem concern with the taking of Celebrex are considerably reduced and I feel fairly comfortable with this regime at present

Celebrex Celebrex did nothing for me. I started on bextra and found great relief.
Unfortunately it has been taken off the market. Yoga is helpful for pain in my back, but my rheumatologist says I should do aerobic activities along with the yoga. He says it is important to keep the joints moving with aerobic type

Celebrex (celecoxib) for Osteoarthritis: Helps very much with pain but is causing skin itching on my arms.

Celebrex=Kidney Damage NSAID’s can cause kidney damage. Long term use can cause other damage we aren’t aware of. I got little relief from pain with this drug and didn’t know about the side effects until years after it was first prescribed. Luckily I don’t take it as prescribed or I might be a lupus patient with kidney damage. very scary.

Celebrex If Celebrex didn’t cause heart issues, I would be on it right now. It actually works better than any of the others I have tried and my husband refuses to quit taking them because it would so diminish his quality of life from constant pain.

I Miss Vioxx!! I switched to Celebrex after the FDA pulled Vioxx from the market thinking it would be pretty much the same, but it’s not. I have bad, bad tendonitis/pain in my knees from playing competative tennis from the time i was 10, for hours everyday – it was my life, but also ruined my knees. Vioxx worked much better for me, both of them are very expensive though. :>)

Celebrex I have Lupus (1998)and newly diagnosed with Fibromyalgia.Celebrex seemed to have lost effectiveness after 12 mos. I got off it in 1999. Now with the scare of heart attacks and strokes I don’t think I’ll go back as an alternative drug therapy.

I found this of almost no value in preventing pain and discomfort.
