| 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 | 3 | Psoriatic Arthritis | Edemic Ankles | Works great on the hand and elbow pain | F | 51 | 21 days | 6/6/2007 | 1 | bone pain | Anxiety, feelings of wanting to not live anymore. | I switched from Naproxen, which after a couple of weeks on it at 500 mgs. twice a day, was beginning to work. I should have waited, but got the prescription for Celebrex 200 mgs. and took one. All day, feelings of total anxiety and depression. | F | 57 | 1 days | 5/27/2007 | 4 | back pain | none | M | 57 | 5 years | 5/14/2007 | 4 | Shoulder, foot, hip, lumbar pain | None at all. Takes effect in about 20 minutes. | Have used single 200mg, off-and-on, since 2001. I skip a dose occasionally to check the impact. I take myself off dose if current pain subsides and start again when some new area pain occurs. Ten years of weight training and running have rebuilt my core muscles following 35-40 years of serious, debilitating pain. One 200mg cap won't block pain (if present) for more than 15-18 hours so,occasionally, I may not sleep well. If I sensed ANY negative symptoms, as some describe, I wouldn't hesitate to toss the stuff. My Rx costs are fully covered. On the other hand, I paid for that benefit, up front, for 50 years. KOKO! | M | 70 | 7 years | 5/12/2007 | 5 | Plantar fascitis | None to speak of. | Dang insurance won't pay for it. | M | 38 | 1 years | 5/4/2007 | 1 | Forearm pain, elbow arthritis | Severe stomach pain. | It may have helped my arm pain slightly, but not worth it given the stomach pain I endured. | M | 41 | 10 days | 5/3/2007 | 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 | 4 | back injury at work | Tiredness | I found it really helpful. It took a few days to start working but when I tried to go off of it after two weeks, my pain increased considerably and I was taking 4-6 ibuprofen a day until my doctor said I could go back on the celebrex (200 mg). | F | 30 | 2 weeks | 4/25/2007 | 3 | arthritis in thumb | Incontinence. Increase appetite. Bloating. When I quit the drug it stopped immediately. Seemed to ease hand pain but at what expense. | F | 54 | 30 days | 4/25/2007 | 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 | 2 | arthritis-post op surgery knee | Severe bloating through stomach area. Heart burn. Itchy scalp. Edema came back in leg area. Numb tongue. Labored breathing. | Had knee surgery for lateral release and torn minicus.Also have severe arthritus. It helped with the pain but not feeling to well from the edema coming back and the swollen stomach not to mention all the itching. I will probably go back to taking ibfrophin. At least I will feel normal again. | F | 44 | 5 days | 4/17/2007 | 3 | CRPS/RSD | So far so good | Started taking as anti inflamatory 3 weeks ago because other nsaids upset my stomach. Works good for most pain and stiffness, but not all. Only works for a few hours on me. | F | 51 | 3 weeks | 4/9/2007 | 4 | spondylolisthesis, hip arthritis | None, until blood test revealed slightly elevated creatinine level | Took only one 200 MG cap per day, worked great. Unfortunately, my Doc took me off of it for awhile to see if my creatinine level returns to normal. Just scheduled back surgery that I had been putting off because of how well Celebrex worked. What a choice: back pain,kidney problems or surgery. | M | 60 | 2 years | 3/27/2007 | 2 | Elbow Tendonitis | Extreme anxiety, feelings of self doubt, etc., major bloating, could not lose weight where other diets had worked fine, feel a little "dizzy", and almost like a mild acid trip. Unpleasant. | Works great to take away pain, but not at the risk of my sanity. I'd rather have the pain, honestly. I'm already going through menopause and this risk is not worth the mental anguish or bloating. | F | 47 | 1 weeks | 3/27/2007 | 1 | torn ligament in knee and arthritis | A severe case of hives with both my throat and tongue swelling. and abdominal problems. The Abdominal and digestive problems are still continueing 3 months later. | Celebrex relieved all the pain, it was great, felt wonderful. After approximately two weeks of being on it I broke out in a severe case of hives. My throat and tongue swelled up and I had to be rushed to the hospital. I had hives from head to toe for three days. Drs. felt it might not have been the celebrex so two months later I tried it again...big mistake. It helped so well I really hoped it would turn out to be something else, but I'm convinced now that it is the celebrex. | F | 55 | 2 weeks | 3/17/2007 | 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 | 4 | O.A. | it helped but have dizziness and diarrhea, so unsure if I will be able to stay on have been on 3 days. I am on 200 mg 2 times a day. | F | 54 | 3 days | 1/23/2007 | 4 | Arthritis | Back Ache, Facial Pimples, Gassy, Retaining Water, Head Aches | Took a few days to start working. | M | 25 | 1 months | 1/14/2007 |
