Celecoxib "Everyone says it's a miracle, but for me, I feel nothing. Been taking it for a year, and I give up. I do take the generic form, as the brand name is $400.00. I really wish I had an option that worked."

"Decent level of pain relief. I suffer from back and knee pain on a regular basis. Paracetamol is faster-acting than this drug, however, it is not as long-lasting or effective."
