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)

 4  Arthritis Constant gas, stinky urine, dizziness, vertigo at times. Dry, itchy, red, sore especially the tops, very swollen feet to approximately six inches above my ankles. My ankles and feet feel very swollen, as do my legs and knees. Worked great at combatting the arthritis but the side effects to my legs and feet are not worth it. . F 63 3 years

 2  hip surgery protocol Gas; bloating; weight gain; abdominal discomfort I had to take celebrex for 3 weeks following a hip surgery to prevent bone regrowth. While it is an NSAID, I don't feel like it did anything for the pain. Luckily, I had other meds for that. I definitely didn't enjoy the crazy amount of gas it produced in my stomach and the abdominal discomfort. Glad I was only on it for 3 weeks. F 30 3 weeks

 1  Arthritis Extreme swelling 15 pounds worth in a very short time. I went to my doctor and he immediately told me to stop the Celebrex and gave me fluid pills. Now almost 3 weeks later I am still having some swelling. We are concerned because I never had swelling before. I am healthy with normal blood pressure except for arthritis. I am concerned the Celebrex has caused a heart or kidney problem. I wish I had never taken this stuff! F 68 25 days

 4  Arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis. Very few for many years. Lately experiencing very dry mouth and regular incidence of canker sores. So I've cut back to 100mg from 200mg a day, in case the drug is causing it. Giving it three months and I'll add the additional 100mg if I can't prove the connection. Lower dose does mean the arthritis in my hands in painful on a more regular basis but I am treating it with heat and more intentional movement. F 67 10 years

 4  AS Sleepiness ( usually a couple of hours ) especially if you eat anything at all, a yogurt can knock you out for a while. No eat - no problem. Celebrex was prescribed to replace steroids, it worked reasonably well to start with but after about 10 years, seems to be failing to do much. Just been given short course of steroids for a chest infection, you wouldn't believe how many dead bits have returned after 1 dose of prednisolone M 67

 4  Ankylosing Spondylitis Celebrex worked totally fine for a 7 years and then I started to become lightheaded and dizzy, occasionally nauseous, without being sick. It's a shame as this drug really worked for me. Back to the drawing board for pain management for me. As with any drug, some will see benefits and others won't. M 46 7 years

 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

 4  Neck to to pain deg. disc fibromyal stomach ache Probably shouldn't rate this having only been on 3 days, but when you have chronic severe pain and something comes along to make one more functional it must me said. 3 days on and the 3rd day I am able to get out of bed within 5 min. of waking by myself. It hasn't taken all my spinal/hip pain away, but the stiffness is not there when I arise...I can move and take care of my morning needs better than I have in 7 yrs. I also have copd and so far this has not further depressed my breathing, I actually feel less congested in the lungs and sinuses than usual. I hope this sucess continues for me as I was completely out of hope of ever having functioning return from a decrease in pain and stiffness. Have used most all other pain management techiniques and am running out of options. I was scared to take it due to having been on Vioxx unsuccessfully in the past. I am glad I took the chance and just want to leave this here for others who may need hope for pain relief. So many REAL pain patients have suffered tremendously having had the best, excellent working opiates needlessly taken from them this past year due to others misusing or mis-prescribing and over-reaching government guidelines for pain meds. While I am happy to report less stiffness with my new Celebrex, nothing has worked better than opiates (never was addicted or craving it) for pain for me. Just got tired of jumping through physician, insurance and pharmacy hoops to get what made me well. So here's to Celebrex and n F 59 3 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
