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.   FDA Approval Date: 2002-08-29 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 2  Arthritis of Neck Severe allergic reaction. Swelling of ears, nose, throat, skin turned red all over and puffed up. Severe abdominal cramping. I took this for years off and on, and then recently developed these severe reactions. My blood pressure also went very low. I am not allergic to sulfa drugs and I don't understand how I got this allergy now after having taken this for years. 42 1 days

 5  Joint pain For 6 mths I've suffered chronic pain in the morning woken from sleep in pain in my joints. It started in my knees, then elbows & wrists. But 2 mths ago it started in my hips & lower back, & as my sleep was interrupted DAILY, so was my life. As soon I get up the pain would go, but the other day it wouldn't. So I went to my Dr who gave me Celebrex. I was scared to take it reading bad reviews. So I rang my Dr & he said take it & let me know how you feel tomorrow. I took it last night & can't believe I waited THIS long to try it. For the 1st time in 6 mths I woke with NO pain & it made me drowsy, which was a bonus. Celebrex WORKED for me so I want to write a POSITIVE review for people out there who are scared off by bad reviews I read HERE. I'm pain free, so I hope it works for others as it has me. I am PAIN FREE!!! The only side effect I had was drowsiness, which was a good one, as I haven't had a good nights sleep in 6 months! F 36 1 days

 5  Knee is bone on bone. This medicine has worked great for me for 20 years. I just found out that I have Kidney Failure, Stage 3. I quit taking it this week. I am not working because of a fall from a ladder that tire my rotator cuff and gave me a horrible concussion because of the distance I fell and landed on my head on a concrete floor, shoulder slammed in to a heavy steel parts cart. I do not want to stop using it but I cannot live without my kidneys functioning properly. F 61 2 days

 5  Polyosteoarthritis and fibromyalgia Rare episodes of nausea but not sure if it is directly related to the celecoxib I have had polyosteoarthritis (affecting multiple joints) and fibromyalgia for about 10 years or more. I have daily pain, soreness and stiffness from the arthritis and frequent fibromyalgia flare-ups that can last anywhere from a day to 2 weeks. Since being on celecoxib (Celebrex) my pain and stiffness has been reduced to very minimal and my fibromyalgia flare-ups are rare. I have tried so many drugs in the past and nothing has even come close to the effectiveness of this one. I hope that I will be able to continue taking it. The difference in my mobility and comfort is life changing. F 56 1 years

 5  knee arthritis Took Celebrex for a month and got relief finally after trying OTC(Aleve etc) Towards the end of the 30 days I did begin to feel mild stomach upset but it was fleeting. I had more intense dreams while I was taking it as well. I have been off it for a about a week and if my knee arthritis flares up again, I will ask my doctor for more.The intense dreams have stopped so I really think it was the Celebrex. I would not want to take this for more than a month at a time but my pain was not as bad as some others. F 56 30 days

 5  Ankylosing spondylitis/postop hip So far only side effect is drowsy & I love it! I haven't slept well in many yrs from spine / joint pain keeping me up in pain. This reduces my pain & makes me sleepy. So far I love it. We'll see if any side effects happen with time. I do take heart meds & bp meds for low bp & so far have seen no issues. If I don't get side effects this is a God send for me. & I've tried it all! Back/spine/neck/hip pain is a 3 compared to a 6-8 normally & the limping in my hip is gone F 31 4 days

 5  Bilateral ankle fractures None I have taken Celebrex since I had car wreck in 1995, which I almost severed both feet off at the ankles. I was never suppose to walk again. This is a wonderful medication. NO ONE knows my pain with every step I take. Celebrex has not made all the pain go away, because I am a paramedic and work 16-24 hour shifts, but it makes a considerable difference. I can either take it and walk or not take it and not walk or play with my grandchild. Every body is different to any drug. I think it is up the each individual on taking it and live with the side effects and long term effects, I know what it can do. But is a miracle drug for me!!! F 41 18 years
