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 100 mg 2X day | 5/28/2021 | 1 | Arthritis back pain | The side effects from this drug where horrible after 3 weeks of taking the medication.

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 | 9/10/2020 | 3 | Arthritis | Stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea | It worked well for my pain management, but I could not get past the side effects. It was tearing up my stomach. | F | 30 | 3 weeks 400mg/day | 8/20/2020 |
CELEBREX (CELECOXIB): This medication is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), specifically a COX-2 inhibitor, which relieves pain and swelling (inflammation). It is used to treat arthritis, acute pain, and menstrual pain and discomfort. The pain and swelling relief provided by this medication helps you perform more of your normal daily activities. If you are treating a chronic condition such as arthritis, ask your doctor about non-drug treatments and/or using other medications to treat your pain. See also Warning section. This drug works by blocking the enzyme in your body that makes prostaglandins. Decreasing prostaglandins helps to reduce pain and swelling.
