"I have Hashimoto's and inflammation trouble throughout the 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, ibuprofen 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've been having sharp pain down my left leg for the last 6 months. I have been given codeine, naproxen, Tramadol, amitriptyline, and so much more. Eventually, after trying all of these tablets and realizing they made me feel worse and emotional to the point I'd rather be in pain, I had just been taking ibuprofen constantly. I have had 100 mg of celecoxib twice a day for two days, and I couldn't be happier. It has had no side effects and takes most of the pain away."

". This was for the pain from acquired spondylolisthesis and stenosis. Side 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 multistage 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."

"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. It's a good medicine, but it's so expensive now I'll probably have to phase it out."

"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 100 mg 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."

"I love this medication, I would be lost without 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."

"I've been on Celebrex for 2 days. My knees and elbows are swollen, stiff, and more painful. My sinus is swollen and painful as well. I have a history of sinusitis. I'm already very overweight. I have anemia as well. Why my Dr. recommended switching to Celebrex from diclofenac, I don't know. I'm so not happy after reading side effects on Celebrex. I took myself off and back on diclofenac."

"All of the side effects mentioned in reading the warning: cold, numbness in leg, lower back pain, tingling in leg, hand. I'm already experiencing these symptoms, plus I'm taking pain meds from pain management. Scared to try these meds. My mother had a massive heart attack while on this medication. I'm terrified to even try this."

"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 200 mg 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...."

"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 painkillers, 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 200 mg taken twelve hours apart."

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