482543 tn?1248355421 I tried looking that up on the internet and all that comes up is Rheumatoid arthritis. He has put me on Plaquenil and Celebrex. Do I have RA? I am going to ask for a copy of my labs to see exactly what is on them and he also told me that as far as my x-rays go my feet and knees show signs of wear and I have a bone spur on each heel.
Avatar m tn Celebrex, Neurontin, Baclofen, Skelaxin, Relafen, Flexeril, to mention some. Things thar really work for me are Baclofen and Lidoderm patches, although some days I still have the spasms. A Cervical MRI showed: Straightening is noted suggesting spasm. Correlate clinically.
Avatar f tn Hi... I was diagnosed with ostearthritis & fibromyalgia a few years ago...and have been taking mobic since then, which has worked. About a month ago, the mobic didn't seem to be working as well.. my hands were hurting a lot at work... so I went back to my dr & he changed my medicine to relafen for the osteoarthritis & lyrica for the fibromyalgia. Although the lyrica seems to work, I'm not liking the side effects, puffy hands & feet & eye twitching...

778803 tn?1244640352 I have some degenerative conditions in my spine, RA, AS and mild sjogrens. I take plaquenil, too, but am not on steroids. I also take relafen, darvocet and flexeril. How are you doing on the meds you take? So far, I am doing ok on mine. I did have to take MTX for almost a year. I hope I don't have to take that path again. The side effects were rough on me. I only had 2 or 3 good days a week.
Avatar f tn He took an x-ray and found nothing. Prescribed Relafen and call in a week. This is seriously ruining the intimacy in my marriage and I don't know what else to do. Hopefully the next week will be telling. Any one experiencing the same problems?? What did you do??

Avatar m tn Has anyone used Celebrex for their Crohn's? I have severe joint point pain and I have been told that Celebrex is a huge help for this. I am wondering about side effects and medicine interactions.
Avatar n tn She is 64 but she also has osteoporosis and arthritis in her lower back. The back doctor just prescribed Celebrex, is this the safest drug for her? Also what should people with Hep C do to better care for their liver eventhough so far she seems to have a healthy liver. For the osteoporosis she is on Fosamax. She has been on it for several years. I am just afraid that too many potent drugs can be harmful for her liver.
Avatar f tn I have been prescibed Celebrex for osteoarthris pain. Can it be taken every day for long term management of arthritis.
904511 tn?1251219733 ), naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn), indomethacin (Indocin), nabumetone (Relafen) and numerous others. These drugs are used for the management of mild to moderate pain, fever, and inflammation. They work by reducing the levels of prostaglandins, which are chemicals that are responsible for pain and the fever and tenderness that occur with inflammation. Etodolac blocks the enzyme that makes prostaglandins (cyclooxygenase), resulting in lower concentrations of prostaglandins.
Avatar n tn I was talking to my girls friend over the phone for couple of hours and got exited and started masturbation my self pushing & hitting real hard on the pillow for 30 to 45 Mins and erected finally. The next day i was started having pain in my root of the penis. I visited the doctor he gave cipro and relafen and oxicodon for 3 weeks.
Avatar m tn I am currently taking a prescription pill for back pain, call relafen . Since the E.N.T. doctor couldn't do anything for me I was wondering about seeing an allergy specialist.
Avatar m tn Can you take nexium one day and Prevacid the next? I am struggling to find something to help stop the burning in my chest and back. I started on Prilosec 4 years ago for GERD. When that didn't cover it, I was switched to Nexium. Then my primary switched me to Protonix 40 mg/daily. That worked for the last year. I tried taking Celebrex for a hip problem and that threw my reflux into overdrive! It's been 6 weeks and I can't get the flare under control.
Avatar f tn Does anyone take celebrex?I started Prozak last week and they want me to take celebrex too. They say my liver can take it, (stage 2 fibrosis). But I am afraid of the NSAIDs in celebrex, any one else taking it? Oh, I am on Methadone too. I am having my first liver biopsy in the morning, so I will find out more about my liver. I am scared to death about it coz I have had so many problems lately.
Avatar f tn Yet another update to those who are helping... I had the injections yesterday and so far no issues other then Im a bit sore and a little loopy because I cant seem to remember anything because of the Niravam they gave me, to keep me calm during the procedure. Afterward the Doc gave me Relafen 500 mg with 2 refills. take 1 every 12 hours. Then told me he wouldn't be giving me any more Vicodin or other such meds because they have long term side effect, huh????? I go back in Feb.
Avatar f tn No, it would be unheard of for Celebrex to damage your heart valve. Celebrex and similar drugs do cause high blood pressure in many individuals, though. You might have gone forever and not known about the heart valve if you had not gotten high blood pressure from the Celebrex. Follow whatever advice the cardiologist gave you, and don't worry.
Avatar n tn I never had high blood sugar but recently after a 10 day course of celebrex for an inflamed shoulder muscle my fasting blood sugar shot up to 137. I read that celebrex has this side effect. Is it reversible?
Avatar n tn First, go to an orthopedic doc, not your general practice doc. Get xrays, especially a standing xray if it's in your knees or ankles. My doc started me on Relafen (sp?) and physical therapy- The pills take the edge off the pain and the therapy will (hopefully) help strenghten the muscles around my joints. Good luck!
Avatar f tn Trying a new drug for pain... Celebrex. I was on Diamox but could not tolerate it as it caused severe kidney PAIN. So, my PCP wants me to try Celebrex (3 days on, 3 days off). Anyone have any experience/knowledge of this med and, if so, how did you fare with it?
Avatar f tn Hi. I have a positive ANA 1:16 speckled pattern. I have been having pain in both of my middle fingers with stiffness, but more in my left hand. Both of my knees have been painful as well. The pain in my knees are similar to the throb of a toothache. I have plantar fasciitis in my right foot and capsulitis in the 2nd metatarsal of my left foot, therefore, my feet always hurt terribly. I feel like I'm getting the flu (achy). My hips just ache all the time.

Avatar n tn My rheumatologist has me on relafen but said I cannot take ibuprofen with it for knee pain that I'm having. What can I safely take?
