| 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 | 1 | arthritis, back pain | Palms of my hands looked blotchy and red. It did nothing for pain. | F | 51 | 4 months | 8/19/2008 | 1 | "Tennis Elbow" | Painful, itchy, red rash all over face that traveled to entire body within hours. Intensified when I was exposed to heat. Rash was also in ear canal, tongue and eyelids...eyes itched severely. Face moderately swollen. | I am allergic to Asacol which is also an anti-inflammatory sulfa drug. I did not know Clebrex was a sulfa drug otherwise I wouldn't have even tried it. I'm surprised my doctor gave this to me...actually I'm DISAPPOINTED that he gave this to me. Thank goodness I only took this one day! | F | 31 | 1 days | 8/8/2008 | 3 | Psoriatic Arthritis | I have had major water works problems, i am on Methotrixate 15 mg per week and Celebrex 2 per day | I have had every investigation doing form Bladder inspections to Explor the reason for my weak Bladder and Constant feeling to need to Empty my Bladder, I even went to a GUM Clinic and was tested for any type STD, I had Blood in my urine at the End of the passing along with pain, This is either down to Celebrex or Methotrixate, i have stopped now and will up date this Notice when i find out more. NOT A GOOD DRUG EITHER IN MY MIND. | M | 40 | 4 years | 8/7/2008 | 2 | Fibromyalgia / Joint pain | Burning stomach and severe moodiness. Took at night would wake about 5 hours after taking feeling very warm and tingly, my stomach would burn and then I would be awake for several hours. | I have taken naproxin in the past with as much luck. Not nearly as expensive and easier to purchase since it can be bought over the counter. | F | 43 | 2 weeks | 8/4/2008 | 4 | Fibromyalgia Syndrome | Constipation, but easily counteracted with addition of 1/2 cup of high-fibre cereal every day. | This drug has been very good for me over the years. Always take with food in the middle of my breakfast to avoid stomach and intestinal issues. Tried to change medication a few times over years but no others work as effectively. Tried Naproxen for a few months but stomach upset always after ingesting; efficacy waned and was practically nil after 3 months. | F | 62 | 9 years | 7/29/2008 | 3 | Tibia-Fibular Fracture /arthritis | Blury Vision, blood in urine | Having a broken ankle (Tibia and Fibular) I was put onto Vicadin and Perciset till the cast came off. Now that i learning to properly strengthen my ankle and do run around alot during the day, I need a little relief - hence the celebrex. It seems to help some times better than other times in regard to the pain and motion availability. I am greatful to have this med. Originally I received this med for inherited ostheo arthritis. Living on an island off the North E. Atlantic does not combine well espaecially when it's wet and cold. I have taken this product during these harsh winter months (2 yrs. in a row) and think it does very well. | F | 45 | 21 days | 7/24/2008 | 1 | 1 tab on empty stomach pre surgery | Terrible--could barely swallow 1 benydryl while racing to ER. blacked out; face and throat hugely swollen..4 hours of constant ER attention-IV; split lip; all joints still burn like fire 36 hours later. can't do Epi because of heart condition. BAD STUFF. | F | 59 | 1 days | 7/13/2008 | 3 | Lower back pain; curved spine | i have had a some blurriness in my eye sight, and i have had nightmares | F | 24 | 6 days | 7/10/2008 | 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 | 3 | back pain | stomach problems at first but seem to go away with time. Still have shortness of breath and/or anxiety. | Pain relief not immediate but after about three days pain seemed to be lessened. Just don't understand the nasal congestion. | M | 56 | 5 days | 7/3/2008 | 1 | arthritis pain in hands and foot | I felt strangely lightheaded, confused, making mistakes at work on the computer, thinking I saw bugs out of the corner of my eye. Entire back of my head hurt and was sore and tender, throbbing worse the longer I took it. All of the symptoms stopped within a day or 2 after I stopped taking it. | I really did not think the medicine had anything do with the symptoms I was experiencing. I had planned ask my Dr to do a CT scan on my head if it did not go away when I quit the celebrex. | F | 55 | 2 weeks | 6/27/2008 | 1 | Pleurisy | I took 400 mg for three days and then lowered to 200 mg for two more days. By the third day, I had no energy, rapid heart rate, Nausea and felt like I was either having a heart attack or a stroke. I have been off of it for 3 days now and still have a burning skin sensation all over my body. Please email me at [email protected] if you have had the burning of the skin. I would like to know how long it lasted. Stay away from this drug! | M | 32 | 4 days | 6/21/2008 | 4 | back pain | I feel very anxious, nervous, moody, and claustraphobic, I cant concentrate, I just don't feel like myself at all! I have only been taking it for 4 days. My husband took it for about the same time and felt the same symptoms. | It helped the pain but the side effects really bother me, I'll probably stop taking it. | F | 33 | 4 days | 6/19/2008 | 1 | Back and groin pain | Abdominal cramping, diarrhea, sleeplessnes | This drug made me feel better all over - the back pain was better plus all my other little aches and pains were gone after taking for a few days. Seemed like a miracle but after reading the postings on this site, am planning to stop taking it. The diarrhea and insomnia are bad enough but I'm really scared about the other side effects mentioned. Ibuprofen only gave limited relief, Tylenol no help. Only other option seems to be narcotics. | F | 57 | 4 weeks | 6/17/2008 | 3 | degenerative disk disease, L4-5 | Moderate left-sided upper quadrant and stomach pain | Was taking Celebrex PRN, 200 mg dose, found it to be very effective in managing inflamatory back pain however, for the last year have been having abdominal pain off and on, labs have been normal, couldn't figure it out until I was reminded that Celebrex is a sulfa derivative. I am allergic to sulfa antibiotic. Stopped the Celebrex, took a 7-day course of Protonics and abdominal pain resolved. Pain had become concerning enough that Dr. made me have a stress echo to r/o cardiac origin, results were fine. I am totally convinced that the problem was due to the sulpha correlation (even though not supported by the literature). Allergic rection to sulfa antibiotic was moderate/severe abdominal pain, rash, blister like lesions. Incredibly disappointed as was beneficial, never has a problem with Vioxx, feeling discouraged. | F | 45 | 1 years | 6/14/2008 | 1 | soft tissue pain | I took this over a period of twenty days. At about the 20 day mark, after taking one to two celebrex per day, I experienced severe shortness of breath. The shortness of breath was akin to feeling like I was drowning. My heart also raced at 130 beats a minute when sitting. The medication has left me with reactive airways and since taking it, I have not been able to get rid of reactive asthma. My airways have been left allergic and I have asthma that I never had before. This is seemingly not written up in the side effects regarding celebrex, but I'm living proof that it happened. On a side note, it did not work for pain either. | This drug seemingly is different from sulfa containing drugs and therefore if you have a sulfa allergy, it is supposed to be safe. However, I have a sulfa allergy and it was not safe for me. | F | 42 | 20 days | 5/20/2008 | 4 | Rheumatoid arthritis | gas | I used to take Naprosyn but had to stop because of stomach problems.I take only 200mg once a day and it takes care of most of my pain. | F | 57 | 2 months | 4/27/2008 | 1 | Back pain | Nausea | Have had tremendous mid-back pain for about six months. Taking Vicodin every six hours but it was losing its effect. Decided to take the risk of Celebrex if it would kill the pain. Took it five or six days but it didn't help the pain. But it did make me feel nauseous. Went back to Vicodin. In the meantime, found out it was Boniva that was causing all the pain in the first place! Crazy! Check out the Boniva report. Hope to be better soon. | F | 72 | 6 days | 4/22/2008 | 1 | hip and knee pain | after second day stomach pain which became worse third day, and dhiaria developed. Stopped taking celebrex after 3rd. day. I'm now 4 days since last pill and stomach is still cramping, but less. | Effect of celebrex was terrible stomach and abdominal pain with only three days of taking the med. 200 | F | 77 | 3 days | 3/9/2008 |
