 1  4 spine surgeries, intractable pain I took this medication in the past and it was always with other medications. This time tried it while not on anything other than a Statin- I lasted 4 days Side effects were feeling like an inferno on the inside that never subsided- a constant hot flash Made my tremor worse, made my anxiety so much worse I felt jittery like I had 100 cups of coffee which I don't drink Diarrhea Didn't decrease pain levels where I noticed- I would rather have the pain than side effects Too many side effects- a hard NO F 54 4 days

 1  shoulder pain After 8 days, constant heartburn, which continued for another week. Stopped taking celebrex on day 8, then developed severe muscles spasms in upper extremities, hypertonia and traveling pains. This progressed to stiffness of entire body which progressed to severe lower back pain, stiffness and generalized weakness over a period of a month at which point I was barely able to dress myself due to the stiffness. Normally I am very agile and a hiker. One injection of B12 resulted in return to normal within 8 hours, except for the original shoulder pain which continues while I continue to supplement with B12. F 71 8 days

 5  Arthritis and disc surgery pain I haven't had any side effects from this at all. I've only been taking it for a week and the pain relief is better than the narcotic meds. I was given for my latest spinal surgery. I wish I could use this long term, but unfortunately over 22 years of spinal surgeries I've taken too many NSAIDs and got an ulcer from Naproxen. I have to be very careful. F 57 7 days

 4  Frozen shoulder Weird dreams. But if upset tummy but pain relief outweighed these side effects. I was prescribed Celebrex for a excruitiatingly painful frozen shoulder . I take 200mg in the morning and it helps take edge off all day until dinner time when the pain comes back with a vengeance. I then take 100mg after dinner. No pain relief from this as by nature the frozen shoulder is most painful at night. Awake most of night in pain. When I do sleep for shorts bursts I have the weirdest dreams. They're not scary though so it's ok . I also have sore knees due to osteo arthritis and the celebrex is actually helping them quite a lot. Do. Happy overall. I dread to think what it would be like if I couldn't take it as I react badly to most pain meds. F 52 8 weeks
200mg morn 1X day
