For Osteoarthritis "I have OA in my hands, knee, and spine. I have been taking Celebrex for over 12 years. I have slightly high blood pressure. It could be from Celebrex, but the benefits of Celebrex outweigh the possible side effects I have experienced. I am having a second spine fusion in a week and have to stop taking Celebrex, per my doctor's request. I have read more positives to keep taking it through and after surgery... I dread going off it because I will not be able to use my hands. Celebrex improves my quality of life, and I recommend anyone with severe arthritis to give it a try."

For Pain "This drug Celebrex was prescribed for severe shoulder pain from a torn rotator cuff. After the second day, my blood pressure spiked to over 170, and my heart rate to over 130, and I had to spend the night in the hospital to get it stabilized. Needless to say, I never took any more Celebrex."
