Celebrex v.s. other medicines?

Question

Has anyone taken this?
What do you think of it?

I have Dx of: dysmenorrhea, arthritis, scar tissue, mild scoliosis, calcium deposit in neck, migraine and tension headaches, and a PT has also told me she thought I had muscles that never healed right. Recently I was given this for what I think is muscle/nerve inflammation from an accident.

Answer 1

I have taken it for arthritis in my neck. It works better than other prescription medication and certainly better than OTC pain relievers.

Although Aleve does come in a close second.

Answer 2

I've taken Celebrex, and it helped for about two weeks. After this it did nothing for me. I guess it depends on your body system. I've also taken other meds and had the same results. I think I'll just have to live with the pain. Nothing I take helps. I've tried everything, Alieve does not help at all. even though their commertials say it works.

Answer 3

Hi
You didnt say why your taking Celebrex?> I had celerbrex several yrs ago
My rhuematolgist gave it to me when she thought i had sjogrens (connective tissue sydrome)blood test showed i did.
I was on it for six weeks but found it didnt help (i have fibromyalgia/osteo also)degen/disc.etc.
Rhuematoligist said "if it didnt help in six weeks it wasnt going to"
I now take Gabapentin (Neurontin)for nerve pain in feet this helps with my other chronic pain too.(remembering of course that were all different regards meds what helps one dosnt necersary help otheres.

Answer 4

Vioxx worked much better for me, but Vioxx doesn't exist anymore.

Answer 6

It depends on what the cause of the pain is?
