| 5 | SCLERODERMA (systemic) | No side effects. | I've taken Celebrex for over 8 years. Celebrex has allowed me to live an 'almost' normal life...as scleroderma 'attacks' the esophagus and therefore Ibuprofen (which causes ulcers) is useless...in addition Ibuprofen does nothing for my joint/muscle pain. Truly, Celebrex is a wonder drug and contra-indications are a trade off for me. I need it to survive with dignity, as scleroderma is a horrid, debilitating illness. My only 'complaint' is the cost. Celexcoxib (a generic form virtually identical) is 'allowed' in Canada. My prescription has gone from 199.00 to 240.00 in the last 90 days! (It is 3/09/2009). I will continue to search for a way to get some from a Canadian Pharmacy. A much more humane country than this one. | F | 64 | 8 years | 3/9/2009 | 5 | undiagnosed collagen vascular | NONE- I took this drug for 3 years and cannot complain at all. I wanted to increase my dose to 400/day and my MD started my on sulfasalazine instead. | LOVE IT! I am going to give the sulfasalazine a little while longer. The celebrex decreased the joint pain/stiffness better but didnt last as long, I took it right before bed and woke up stiff. The sulfasalazine must build up differently b/c I can miss a dose and still cant tell with stiffness, but the joint pain is a little worse than it was with celebrex...cant decide which is worse.... | F | 26 | 3 years | 12/18/2008 | 5 | hip & lower back pain | I have no side effects that I can point to. I was taking 2 or 3 celabrex a week along with 3 pain pills a day and the pain did not go away. I started taking 1 cel. 200 mg a day and no pain pills and the pain went away. Great Drug!! No Side effects that I know of. I feel a lot better since I got off the pain pills. | Before taking this I would have to lift my right leg to get into the auto. It was that painful to try and do such small things. It was some times hard to get up from a chair. | M | 62 | 4 years | 10/18/2008 | 5 | NONE AT ALL | This is a WONDERFUL DRUG. I just started taking for my serious bout with sciatica. My sciatic pain becomes almost dibilitating. I am taking 200mg celebrex once a day. My pain went from almost unbareable to almost non-existant. THANK YOU CELEBREX!!! | M | 33 | 4 days | 9/24/2008 | 5 | Osteoarthritis | None | I felt better almost immediately. I will stop short of calling it a miracle drug, but I feel like a 20-year-old again. | F | 41 | | 9/12/2008 | 5 | Arthritis in knee and foot | None | Works great - just as good as Vioxx before it was pulled from the market. After Vioxx I tried Naproxen for a while and it did nothing for me, so I asked my doctor for Celebrex. I can always tell if I miss a dose. | M | 49 | 3 years | 8/26/2008 | 5 | Joint pain | I had no side effects that I am aware of with Celebrex. | Celebrex is wonderful for me. I cannot take Advil, Asprin, or any other NSAID because of stomach problems. I have not had that problem with Celebrex and it works like a charm. | F | 29 | 7 months | 7/8/2008 | 5 | Osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia pain | None I know of, but I take a lot of different meds and have some stomach problems already, plus other things. | It completely takes away my debilitating pain so well . I pray it doesn;t cause me to have a stroke or heart attack or some organ failure. EEK! I also take baby aspirin. Hope this helps. I only take one when I need and only for like 2 days. (200mg) I do notice insomnia and anxiety. But I take valium and have for years so I,m not sure it is the celebrex. So far it has made life manageable. | F | 54 | 1 years | 2/1/2008 | 5 | back pain | None | I have liver probs and am wary of taking the drug for more than 1 week at a time. But it is thE ONLY pain relief I ever got from meds. | F | 49 | 2 days | 11/18/2007 | 5 | heel spur/foot pain | constipation, but definately worth it | F | 45 | 5 days | 11/15/2007 | 5 | Lupus | Indigestion. | I can definitely tell when I don't take it! I can't even make a fist with it, so it's definitely worth it to me even with all the scary warnings. | F | 37 | 2 years | 8/23/2007 | 5 | fibromyalgia/osteoarthritis | severe pain in wallet | I have to take it with food otherwise my stomach hurts. It is not covered well by my 400.00 per month health insurance, so it is a 60.00 copay every month, which gets very, very expensive combined with all the other 60.00 copays. | F | 40 | 6 months | 6/14/2007 | 5 | Plantar fascitis | None to speak of. | Dang insurance won't pay for it. | M | 38 | 1 years | 5/4/2007 | 5 | Degenerative arthritis in left ankl | None that I am aware of. | I tried to stop taking Celebrex, but experienced excrutiating pain in my left ankle (degenerative arthiritis) & my right shoulder (injured rotator cuff). I had pain so bad I couldn't even think. I went back to Celebrex and within one hour my pain had subsided and I was able to walk and lift my arm again. | F | 53 | 6 years | 4/28/2007 | 5 | Arthritis in hands and lower back | None whatsoever! | It has worked great for me and I sleep like a baby. I used to barely be able to walk at certain times, now I ride my horse and walk my dogs 2-3 hours a day before I feel any pain at all. It has never hurt my stomach either. | F | 49 | 9 months | 4/23/2007 | 5 | Post knee replacement surgery | Only one brief episode of horrific heartburn. Now having trouble with insomnia. | Was prescribed for control of inflammation after knee surgery, but I was amazed at how it completely eliminated the arthritic pain I've been suffering in my ankle/foot for years! It's a miracle drug for me. However, I do worry about longterm side effects. Am going to try reducing my 200 mg daily dose to 100 mg to lower the risk of side effects. | F | 65 | 3 months | 4/18/2007 | 5 | osteo-arthritis | I experienced some anxiety,a few months ago, but it eventually passed. Now I take B vitamins and some Sam-e, when needed, and cut my coffee intake. Occasional loose bowel movements, which may be due to Celebrex, but not sure. | I could not work or function well without it. Most days, it takes away all pain and sickly discomfort. Before Celebrex, I tried Ibuprofin to Aleve, and nothing worked very well. I had to keep taking the others every few hours, but they just took the edge off the pain and I still felt sick inside, and weak. I am taking 200mg. of Celebrex once a day, so far, and I feel nearly normal, like I used to before the bad joint pains came. | F | 63 | 17 months | 2/6/2007 | 5 | migraine pain management | None-I take 200 mg when needed for migraine. | This has really helped my migraines when other migraine medicine has not and also helps with my migraines when narcotic pain medicines made me sick as a dog. | F | 24 | 5 months | 12/17/2006 | 5 | arthritis | none | does a great job controlling pain. qui taking it twice for one week, felt miserable,unable to function well | M | 68 | | 3/31/2005 | 5 | stiff - pre-arthritic | zero (that i can say :) ) | i only take when i need, not daily, sometimes 1 pill every other week . . . . | F | 48 | 2 years | 3/22/2005 |
