| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR CELEBREX | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 3 | Joint Pain | No Side effects, took Celebrex for 2 weeks | Tricks the mind into thinking the pain is gone. Pain came right back when you stop taking it. | M | 38 | 14 days 1X day | 4/28/2011 | 3 | breakthrough pain | none | It didn't really relieve the pain...maybe a little but it's hard to tell cuz I also take tramadol. | F | 37 | 1 days 200mg 1X day | 4/7/2011 | 3 | hip replacement pain | Osteo. Dr. put me on 2x per day because I have pain with a Depuy hip replacement, promises I'll be better in 2 weeks. Gave me my choice of Celebrex or Aleve. I chose Celebrex; but now I'm wide awake in the middle of the night, anxious, nervousness, what should I do? Would a high doseage of Aleve give the same effect? | For pain, Great! but I'm afraid of side effects. I take Cartia for irregular heartbeat, am I affecting my heart med? | F | 72 | 12 days 400 2X day | 3/7/2011 | 3 | back pain | First ever dosage three hours ago. Pain is lessened but my hands and fingers are itching to the bone, no rash. Beginning some difficulty with swollowing. feet beginning to itch | itching makes you forget about the pain | F | 68 | 1 days 200 mg 1X day | 2/20/2011 | 3 | Neck arthritis | Anxiousness, heart racing at times, EXTREME insomnia. Trouble going to sleep, then wake up like clockwork at 2 or 3am and up many times for the duration. | I cannot continue. Will try starting today to cut back to 200mg in the AM. If no luck, then I will ditch it and try a Chiropractor. | M | 48 | 30 days 200mg 2X day | 12/29/2010 | 3 | Endometriosis | Burning "I just swallowed ground glass" abdominal pain | Initially no side effects at all, but after a couple of days I started having an intense "ground glass" burning upper abdominal pain which turned out to be NSAID induced ulcers. They may say Celebrex is easy on the stomach, but it wasn't at all for me. Too bad I reacted so negatively to it, it worked really well for the pain and now I can't use any NSAID at all anymore because of the ulcers. | F | 27 | 3 days 100mg 2X day | 10/28/2010 | 3 | Lower back pain, sciatica | I have stopped for 5 days, headaches are gone, diarhea still there so is burning in fingers. Sciatica is gone. I actually developed right after sciatica, trouble breathing, stuffy nose, dry cough. | F | 73 | 6 days 1 1X day | 10/13/2010 Patient History | 3 | joint pain all over | Started having itching a couple of months back; thought it was heat but no going away. The itching doesn't result in typical rash-like response but it doesn't go away. Been having more and more trouble staying asleep and dreaming all the time. Really tired and draggy throughout the day. | I am going back to herbal remedies and stopping Celebrex because I am having palpatations and the side effects for possible heart attack and stomach problems are more than I am willing to risk anymore. | F | 53 | 3 years 200mg 1X day | 10/13/2010 | 3 | costochondritis | water retention, mild fatigue | Started taking it for severe pain diagnosed as costochondritis. Experienced some pain relief, but after 4 days, started to have swollen fingers and feet. Very uncomfortable. Not enough pain relief to justify adding discomfort of swollen fingers to keep taking it. Left message for doctor that I'd like to discontinue. | F | 37 | 7 days 1X day | 7/16/2010 | 3 | pain | good feelings about pain | a pain relief | F | 33 | 2 days 3 1X day | 4/17/2010 | 3 | arthritis pain | Severe headache on second day taking it. Then diarrhea. It did help immediately with arthritis pain in knee. | I took Celebrex for about 6 months a year ago, then switched to Naproxen. I had to stop Naproxen because of stomach pain, so went back to Celebrex. I did not have these side effects with it the first time, so wonder if after time, the side effects get worse. I was taking Celebrex for awhile a few months ago, was on it for about 3 months, but noticed urinary problems (frequency, urgency, burning), so stopped taking it then. The symptoms went away. | F | 60 | 2 days 200mg 1X day | 3/30/2010 | 3 | osteoarthritis | vaginal bleeding (I am post menopausal so had to see doc immediately), fatigue, increased blood pressure, flu-like symptoms, severe leg cramps, nausea, heart palpitations, unusual roughness of tongue, stomach upset, diarrhea and gas | After just one dose it greatly helped with pain. I had been on celebrex about 6 years ago then cardiologist stopped me. We thought we would try again since no further cardiological problems but could not tolerate it. | F | 49 | 4 days 200mg 1X day | 3/16/2010 | 3 | Disc buldging & joint inflammation | Severe stomach cramping and diahreah for the first 2-3 days. Helps with pain about 50%. | F | 25 | 2 weeks | 12/17/2009 | 3 | Tendonitis | Fast heart rate and sluggish feelings, very tired. | Seemed to help with pain initially but tapered off. I was told this works pretty fast so not sure if I should keep taking it, I was given a medrol dosepak also. | F | 7 days | 8/19/2009 | 3 | Arm pain | Constipation, headaches | F | 18 | 10 days | 8/5/2009 | 3 | back pain | possible heart beat problems | M | 59 | 2 years | 1/20/2009 | 3 | Torn ACL and broken Knee | I felt a bit tired after taking it but overall I had no other side effects. I would use again. It seems to help. | F | 31 | 3 months | 12/9/2008 | 3 | Back pain with leg radiculopathy | Heart irregularities, a little anxiety, insomnia | Worked great for the back pain with no stomach issues. I use it occasionally despite the side effects. | F | 55 | 7 months | 12/3/2008 | 3 | nsaid for fibromyalgia | i was given celebrex for the pain of lower back andlegs which was initially diagnosed fibromyalgia. now that i have a solid diagnosis of chronic pain syndrome, i am not looking to change nsaids because celebrex has worked well and other nsaids can make me very ill. | dont take any other product with ibuprofen along with celebrex. it can cause stomach and liver issues. | F | 31 | 6 months | 10/6/2008 | 3 | podiatr. recom. (plantar fasciitis) | I told my husband that it was like someone took all the energy I had and felt wiped out. He said, "Wait--didn't you just start Celebrex today?" So we figured out that it was probably that. Will try again tomorrow but if I keep having fatigue I may go with something else instead. | F | 47 | 1 days | 9/24/2008 |
