Celebrex (celecoxib) "Very effective in managing post hip replacement surgery pain. I was off mild narcotics quickly. So far, I have not experienced any adverse effects except for edema which is resolving with elevation and ice. For me, I do not feel drowsy or dizzy, in fact, quite the opposite. I want to test out my new hip in new ways such as dancing!"

". This was for the pain from Acquired Spondylothesis and stenosisSide effects were blurry vision and swelling of my hands. No stomach distress. I call it ibuprofen on steroids. For the price it is very ineffective. I was excited at first as my pain level is off the chart (8 neurosurgeons want to multi stage fuse my spine). Sadly, the generic Celebrex effect regarding pain mitigation after four months is negligible. The best part is no stomach distress, as I cannot tolerate most NSAIDS. I shall discontinue due to lack of efficacy. Personally, I am puzzled as to how an anti inflammatory would create swelling of hands as the converse should occur."

Frequently asked questions

Is meloxicam very similar to Celebrex?

"I have Hashimoto's and inflammation trouble throughout body. Every time a new diagnosis comes along, it takes a different med to help with the pain. Naproxen chased away the costochondritis in ribs, ibruprofen got rid of my neck trouble, but when my shoulder was diagnosed with calcification and frozen shoulder, the naproxen and other meds didn't do anything. Doc put me on generic Celebrex (celecoxib) and after 24 hours, I am always feeling much better. NO side effects. Unfortunately, after two weeks I try to decrease or stop meds, and it comes right back. I don't want to live on meds for the rest of my life, I want the celecoxib to stop the inflammation like what happened with the other parts of my body, but it doesn't at this time. Best of luck - give it a try. If it kept the pain/inflammation away, I'd give it a 10."

"I have psoriatic arthritis and have been on Celecoxib from another manufacturer for over 2 years and my pharmacist changed me over to the Torrent brand of the 200mg Celecoxib. Within 3 days I had extreme heartburn and gas----I was so very uncomfortable starting right after I took the pill first thing in the morning as I always had. I went back to the pharmacy today and got the other Celecoxib I had taken before. anxious to get back on track again after a miserable 5 days...."

"I have been on Celebrex off and on, over the last 10 years or more. I take it mainly for lower back pain. I understand it increases your chance of heart attack and stroke, so I take it only when I need it. It is hard on your stomach, so take it after a meal. But it really helps ease my lower back pain. I don't understand why the price for my prescription was $300. this month. It's never been that high! That's why I'm here, looking to see if there is an explanation. The chemist told me to call my insurance company, as he didn't know. Its a good medicine but its so expensive now I'll probably have to phase it out."

Celebrex (celecoxib) "Hallelujah! I started to get horrible popping noises and cracking sounds in my neck and stiffness to the point it would make me want vomit. I tried massage, yoga and every holistic tack known to man. I tired steroids. ER visit. Finally saw MD and prescribed Celebrex. Within 6 hours some relief and 12 hours I'm sitting here up and working and have some hope I can function again."

"I love this medication, I would be lost with out it. I have degeneration of the spine and this causes a lot of swelling. Before Celebrex I couldn't get out of bed without taking pain meds first and giving them time to work. Now with Celebrex I can get right up, I move like I did 10 years ago. "

"An MRI showed spinal stenosis. Pain in my lower back, radiating down my leg into my thigh and knee. I limped when I walked and was in constant pain. My Dr prescribed 100mg once a day and within 24 hours I had pain relief. I took it for 2 weeks then went off of it just to see if there was a difference. I am here to tell you that I was back on it 2 days later. This medication is wonderful."

"If Celebrex ever falls to the legislative chopping block I will be the first in line in Washington to keep Celebrex available. If I had to eliminate all but one of the fifteen (I don't believe it myself) medications I am currently taking then the keeper would be Celebrex. I've suffered from chronic pain and fatigue for over fifteen years now. After going through the roster of pain killers Celebrex was like a godsend. Instead of a massive area of pain that ran through my head, down through my neck and into my shoulder blades and upper arms I found that I had half a dozen distinct areas of pain consistent with the areas of damage from accidents and injuries. I have no side effects with the two 200mg taken twelve hours apart."

"I have used Celebrex now for approximately 3 weeks. Over all has helped for my chest inflammation. Just wanted to add that asking your pharmacist about co pay or smart cards in order afford brand name Celebrex highly recommended. It truly helps with the cost to remain on brand name"
