For Osteoarthritis "I have cervical spondylotic myelopathy, osteoarthritis, cervical and lumbar stenosis. My primary prescribed Celebrex. I experienced no pain relief after a week on Celebrex. Instead, I experienced debilitating brain fog, dizziness, stomach pain, and palpitations. I stopped taking Celebrex. I would never, ever recommend this drug."

For Pain "I have been suffering with arthritis in my knee and chronic plantar fasciitis heel pain for almost a year. The pain was brutal, and I asked my doctor if she would please give me a trial of Celebrex, as I had read a lot of positive responses about it. Within a few days of taking, yes, the generic version, I could feel a difference in my pain, and now a couple of weeks, and it's definitely helped my pain level, especially the plantar fasciitis. You should definitely take it with food, and I take it in the evening, or sometimes I do get a little dizzy, so I take it with supper, but it has definitely made a big difference in my pain level, and I can function now without being in agony by the end of the day."

For Pain "I am on my second day of Celebrex. I was taking way too many ibuprofen every 4-6 hours for widespread osteoarthritis and skeletal-muscular pain. The first day, I was really dizzy and drowsy and spent all day in bed. Today, I am back to work, and while I feel my overall arthritis is slightly improved, the areas where I have the most swelling (ankle, knees) are not responding as well as with the ibuprofen. And areas like my back, shoulder, and hands have increased pain levels. I am having more trouble walking. I keep getting headache pain that comes and goes and causes me to feel dizzy and nauseous. I am not sure if this is typical and I just need time to adjust or not. But I find myself having trouble getting through the work day."

For Pain "I had severe knee pain and lower lumbar back pain and sciatica for approximately 7 months. The doctor prescribed CELEBREX 200; take one 200 MG capsule twice daily for 5 days, then one capsule for 7 days, thereafter discuss progress. My pain and swelling did subside substantially but not completely. A day after I completed the course of tablets, I experienced severe dizziness. I am on day 3 after finishing the course and still getting dizzy spells; it is not easing??? I have had vertigo once 5 yrs prior to this medication; I am now 63 yrs old. I do not recommend this product as I think it has caused my dizziness to return."

For Osteoarthritis "I envy the people who have had success with Celebrex. I need both knees replaced for osteoarthritis, and I also have pain in my back, neck, elbows, hips, and wrists. I've been on Celebrex for 6 or 7 years. When I first used it, it used to make me very dizzy. But it never ever relieved any pain for me! I always had to pop multiple Tylenol, Motrin, or Advil to supplement, in order to get even minimum relief. My doctor put me on Arthrotec today, and I am really hoping for success. If that doesn't work, he's going to try me on Tylenol-3 (codeine-based)."

For Pain "My acute pain happened after I had the first Prolia injection on May 1, 2017, and it caused my immune system to be out of whack. IBS, mouth and tongue sores, teeth, hair, bones, and then the thoracic pain. Have had 2 epidurals. Have had ultrasounds on my arm for pain. Shoulder and collarbone pain. I cannot tell if Celebrex is helping, as I have only been taking it for a week. I took Gabapentin, but it caused me to be very dizzy and sluggish. I wish a doctor could tell me what is going on and help me with this horrible pain. I had never been sick before."
