| 5 | Arthritus | Not a one!!!! | Good so far. | F | 46 | 3 years | 3/22/2005 | 2 | arthritis | Tiredness Irregular heartbeat | M | 36 days | 3/8/2005 | 5 | psoratic arthritis | I had joint pain and stiffness. With Celebrex, I have no pain and no stiffness. | F | 64 | 8 years | 2/19/2005 | 5 | low back pain from ruptured disc | None | I tried EVERY over-the-counter medication and dosage for three years and nothing worked but this COX-2 drug. I started out on 400mg/day (200mg 2/day), but am now able to function well at 200mg/day only. If they pull this from the shelf, there had better be a alternative that works just as well. | F | 38 | 6 months | 2/16/2005 | 5 | pain from herniated disc/surgery | No side effects - this is a wonderful drug | Only problem is the cost. My insurance won't pay for it and I can't afford $120 a month. Took it for 3 months, once a day, and only stopped because I could not afford to keep taking it. Have been using ibuprofen for 1 year now and it is not as good. | F | 41 | 3 months | 1/26/2005 | 1 | arthritis, inflamation | I was constantly having heart palpations, fluttery feelings in my chest.I had serious shortness of breath, and was dreadfully tired all the time. I had a lot of stomach and digestive problems while on celebrex. | Arthritis of the cervical and lumbar spine continued to get worse. The stiffness and pain on the right side of my body from my neck to the bottom of my foot has had no let up. Exercise is helpful when I can do it. Everyday chores are nearly impossible. Celebrex seemed to have little or no value as a treatment for me. I am no longer taking celebrex. My Doctor has me on naproxin now, but I really can't tell much difference at this point. | F | 55 | 2 days | 1/17/2005 | 4 | Herniated Disc | Light stomach pain, more prone to bruising | When I first took Celebrex, it was like a | M | 63 | 22 months | 12/16/2004 | 5 | Torn ligament, hip to coccyx | None so far. | Swelling gone after about 4 hours. Full range of motion returned in 24 hrs. Back to working out and running again. I'm in the Army and it allows me to keep up with my squad during intense training. | M | 33 | 6 days | 11/30/2004 | 1 | knee pain/swelling (post-op) | It definitely did not help with pain, but it did seem to help the swelling. Unfortunately it also brought chest pains and shooting pains in my arm and upper thigh deep in the area of the veins and I felt like I was having a stroke. I will not be trying it again. | F | 30 | 5 days | 11/30/2004 | 5 | shoulder injury-fibromyalgia | none | started at 200mg once a day, pain relief didn't last long. Now taking 100mg twice a day, working better.Works like Advil without the stomach upset. | F | 35 | 1 months | 11/25/2004 | 5 | Rheumatoid Arthritis | Change in bowel actions ( minor) | Of all the medications i take this one gives me the most relief. I am on 400mg a day. | M | 48 | 3 years | 11/23/2004 | 5 | Osteoarthritis | none | F | 54 | 3 years | 11/16/2004 | 5 | Joint and Muscle Pain | No side effects | I take 100 mg daily, and it has nearly eliminated all of my pain. | F | 58 | 5 years | 11/10/2004 | 3 | knee inflammation | None that I am aware of | F | 17 | 2 months | 10/31/2004 | 3 | back pain, arthritis | It definitely helped, but still needed additional pain meds some days | F | 42 | 18 months | 10/29/2004 | 2 | Osteoarthritis | High blood pressure and never had this before in my life. | I don't feel it works any better than OTC Alleve | F | 54 | 3 months | 10/25/2004 | 1 | neck pain | Celebrex started to give me very bad headaches. They became unbearable after some weeks so have now stopped taking Celebrex and the headaches have gone. | M | 70 | 3 weeks | 10/18/2004 | 5 | bursitis | light internal bleeding | works great, but take it in moderation | M | 37 | 2 years | 10/8/2004 | 1 | Arthritis | CHEST PAINS | I took this medicine and experienced heart and chest pains. I went to the emergency room terrified thinking i was having a heart attack. thankfully it was not a heart attack in my case however I would not want anyone taking this over-advertised drug that causes more illness than cure. | F | 59 | 1 days | 10/6/2004 | 1 | Arthritis | I had an allergic reaction within hours of first taking celebrex: skin rash, itchiness, eye puffiness. | F | 51 | 1 days | 10/3/2004 |
