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)

 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

 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 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  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  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

 5   No side effects I have bad osteo and psoriatic arthritis. I have been on Bextra then Celebrex then Vioxx until it was removed from the market. Now back on Celebrex, total time on Celebrex about 13 years. No side effects, just had a heart exam and all is normal. I did have a problem with gastritis this year and the doctor put me on Omeprazole with the 1st dose of Celebrex and everything is back to normal. Bottom line is I can't function without Celebrex. It works wonders for me. I also have High Blood pressure and elevated lipids which have been under control for the last 30 years with medication. M 76 14 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
