CELEBREX  (CELECOXIB):  This medication is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), specifically a COX-2 inhibitor, which relieves pain and swelling (inflammation). It is used to treat arthritis, acute pain, and menstrual pain and discomfort. The pain and swelling relief provided by this medication helps you perform more of your normal daily activities. If you are treating a chronic condition such as arthritis, ask your doctor about non-drug treatments and/or using other medications to treat your pain. See also Warning section. This drug works by blocking the enzyme in your body that makes prostaglandins. Decreasing prostaglandins helps to reduce pain and swelling.   FDA Approval Date: 2002-08-29 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 2  Broken leg&neck+fractures none Iliked it better than Vioxx, it did help a little but had to increase the dosage and it eventually stopped helping me at all. Also after the I seen the recent studies show that there are good possibilities that vioxx and celebrex can slow down bone union and strength(overall make it take longer to heal) it makes since to me becouse docs say my leg is healing slower than normal(i dont smoke) and they dont really know why my neck isnt healing.so im quitting celebrex. ,i also have taken vicoden and percocet which is the only thing that gets me out of pain. M 24 6 weeks
