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  Joint Pain Nightmares resulting in nocturnal asthma flareups After explaining my problem to my specialist he's directed me to take 100mg in the mornings, and not sleep for 12 hours. My nights are still sore, but I sleep through without bad dreams and the resulting flareups. Works great though, muted 95% of the pain and dulled the worst of it to a manageable level. F 31 25 days

 4  Knee Pain Swollen hands, fingers, feet, ankles, face, puffy eyes, upper respiratory infection, very bad dry cough for 8 days, chest pain, severe insomina, no sleep in 8 days, back spasms, severe headaches, heart racing, anxiety, depression, serious mood swings, blurred vision, hot flashes, flu symptoms, sore throat, vertigo, fatigued. I started swelling yesterday & thought maybe it was due to me being a diabetic & I had a cortizone injection in my knee 8 days ago which is when the doctor asked to try Celebrex for 9 days and let him know how it goes. Last night I took a fluid pill & this morning noticed the swelling is still there. My arms from my wrist to my elbow is swollen with thick tissue, feels like a knot in both my arms. Very scary feeling. Last night I went off on my fiancee' said bad things to him & told him the relationship was over. I cried from after 12pm last night til I left for work at 5am this morning and drove 2 hours to work, still crying uncontrollable and from no sleep in the past 8 days, maybe total 8 hrs of sleep in 8 days & none for the past 2 days, I ran off road this morning from falling asleep. No one got hurt. I had very bad back spasms & chest pain from the accident starling me, very scary. I decided to look up this site & see if anyone else was experiencing what I am experiencing and WOW is all I can say. Why does would doctors perscribe a drug that can KILL you or leave with you sa lifetime of medical issues that you did not have before, this drug can change your life for the bad forever! It took the pain away within a few minutes and the knees was feeling great but last night both knees were swollen bigger that 2 grapefruits, like my knees were hanging off my leg, OMG! The room started spinning last night, I thought I was having a heart at F 46 8 days

 4  chronic back from surgery Haven't noticed any bad side effects, have other medical problems but don't connect any to this drug. Back surgery in 1982, went through 3 other anti-inflammatories over the years, following a gastric surgery this was only one I could take, works great - get check ups every 3-4 months - so far so good - 100 didn't touch problem, 200 works fine - but then I don't expect to feel 30.

 1  Foot, Heal and Leg Pain Mental Fog, inability to concentrate, increased anxiety, mood swings. Foot Dr. gave samples because insurance wouldn't pay. Dr. didn't pay attention to my recorded sulfa drug allergy and since I didn't go through my pharmacy it wasn't caught. Went to GP who alerted me to the allergic connection. Worked like a miracle for pain at first then became less effective, Never helped with inflammation. F 58 30 days

 5  joint pain, knees, headaches I was having severe pain which was getting worse with time. Doctor prescribed Mobic, but it did nothing. She provided me with a prescription for Celebrex and I felt better with the first dose. Each dose I take makes me feel better. Also, I have been suffering with headaches on a daily basis for months. Since I started the Celebrex, no headaches. F 50 2 days

 5  Knee arthritis None so far Miracle drug! I was in pain constantly. Shooting, burning and radiating up and down my leg all the time. Hard to drive, sleep and sit in chair. If I do ever get side effects the pain relief will be worth the trade off. Take it with food that will coat your stomach like yogurt or bananna's. It's awesome! F 47 4 days

 1  osteoarthritis bladder pain, burning, increased frequency of urination, blood in the urine. Unfortunately, my doctor missed making the connection with taking celebrex, but thanks to the internet and sites like this, I figured it out myself.

 3  osteoarthritis The 13 years were divided up between Celebrex, Mobix and Maloxicam. I stopped Celebrex during the scare and then returned to it 2years ago This side affect is probably related equally between Celebrex and other NASIDS. About 4 years ago I started to suffer with muscle cramps which were Extremely painful. They seemed to come after I would do yard work in the hot Florida sun. After a work session in which I sweatted heavily, and after I cooled down I would suffer a series of cramps. In my hands, legs, arms, sides and other various parts of the body. Doctors were unable to deturime the cause. some said Dehydration, others perscribed Potasium or magnesium, but nothing worked. I could get some reliefe from vinegar or tonic water , but these were only termporary. About 6 months ago I was advised to stop the celebrex for about two weeks durinf some minor surgery. Near the end of the two weeks I noticed that I hadn't had any cramps.I have stayed off celebrex and now months and th M 78 13 years

 5  headache, joint stiffness I am frequently very hot and turn red in the face without sweating; a little stomach irritation I love this medication since I cannot take aspirin and ibuprofen upsets my stomach. I also have physical therapy and use ice, but Celebrex has kept me going. I wish I could take 2 per day, but i am afraid to do so because of the data on Vioxx and the heart. F 67 10 years

 4  Psoriatic Arthritis Rash, itching, bowl over working,weight gain, cough, gas, heartburn, I was prescribed Celebrex when Vioxx was taken off the market, was never really happy on Celebrex I discussed it with my Rheumatoligst but he did not think the side affects were that important. It wasn't till speaking with another GP that she pointed out that it could be Celebrex causing the "Side Affects" I was experiencing so from today I have stopped taking it and time will tell if I've made the right decision. I will take Paracetamol on a regular 4 hourly basis for pain relief instead. F 67 10 years
