celebrex and back pain

) I have just moved to a 1 floor house in FL and the pain is worse sometimes. Celebrex is not working. Knee grinds. Now the other one is doing it and my Lower back is killing me. Has been for a while but with moving thought it was from all the lifting. But husband reminded me it started before we loaded truck. Also It hurts if walking more then 20 minutes, standing in one position and also sitting. It gets so stiff and sore. I can't barely move.

Dear Doctor I have this non stop pain in the left side of my chest from the upper back to the front in the ribcage. I cant ly on my left side because of the pain and it feels that there is not enough space for my lung and my hart beat raises. My left arm also pain and have pins and needles in my hand. I also suffer from fever for years. Most days I am feeling sick. I do take Celebrex for the rib pain these last month.

I have almost constant lower back pain. I have DDD and arthritis inmy back. Stood on my feet at last job for 15yrs. but now am disabled. any good suggestions ?

Hey Hopey. I was just prescribed Celebrex too!! I'm very anxious to see how well it helps b/c i have constant back pain and have tried several meds that haven't given ANY relief. I started the Celebrex today, 600 mgs. And will take 400 mgs/day after today. The dr DID say it can take a few days to start feeling relief from it.

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.

I have been on Cellcept for 5 months for multiple sclerosis. I developed generalized joint pain, lower back pain, and now have a low RBC count. I'm seeing a physical therapist and am taking Celebrex for the joint pain. This is helping. I am waiting for my latest lab tests from my primary physician. I see my neurologist next week. I was on Cytoxan before and would hate to have to return to those infusions.

Has anyone taken an NSIAD(like Ibuprofen or Celebrex) after being treated for GERD or H. Pylori infection? I recently injured my back and a Pain Management specialist said I could possible take Celebrex to help with the inflammation.

I have lower back and hips pain, and also my neck shoulders and both arms are also paining. My pain is more of an ache rather than an actual pain. I tood some nurofen tonight, which is ibrufen, and that actually eased the pain a good bit. I don't know what it is, it could be the flu, but if its still there after a week I will go and see about it. How about you, how long have you had it, and do you have any other symptoms? have you taken anything for it? Sunset.

I was on Mobic for a year or so and never had any issues besides stomach pain (which any NSAID's can cause) I get stomach pain with any NSAID's. Mobic wasn't really that affective for me but my insurance made me try practically every NSAID on the market before they would approve Celebrex. They denied Celebrex and even recommended a PPI (ulcer med) to take with the NSAID's because they didn't want to pay for Celebrex.

I don't think it should be an issue, I took Celebrex and Morphine for an extended time with no issue. Ask your doctor about any concerns though.

There is something called referred pain. In other words, the pain may originate in one area of your back and the pain radiates to another part of your back,. Both of us, my husband and I, go for regular adjustments with our chiropractor. Were you involved in a car accident of some kind? I ask this because you mention going to a physiotherapist. Are you aware that celebrex has been removed by some drug stores in Canada. Personally, I wouldn't take this drug.

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.

t know about the g i bleeding. My mom was very ill on Celebrex and she told the pain specialist/surgeon at a well known hospital that she no longer wanted to take the Celebrex and that it made her feel extremely ill. I've also heard, haven't been able to confirm this rumour , that Celebrex has been taken off some pharmacy shelves. Hope this post helps.

I have increased bone pain and nausea. I then have diarreah and vomiting for 2 days, but the cramping is what cripples me. I then have to wean myself back onto solids. But the most frustrating part of the whole ordeal - is when I have gone through this I feel replenished. It is as though my body is trying to rid something - a build up of acids maybe?

I have been on methotrexate and celebrex for at least 15 years, probably long. I am currently in a tremendous amount of pain in my fingers, elbows, shoulders, left knee and left hip. Volteran gel has not helped at all and neither has Aleve. Can I take tramadol with these two drugs? I have recently switched my insurance and am waiting to get into a new rheumatologist.

I got back from my appt today and of course I have NO PAIN yet today.. the Neuro touched different areas on my face and asked if they were sore, I said NO.. but the bottom and side of my face was tender, not sore so I said no it wasn't sore, I don't know if I should have said it was tender??? at these appt I never leave feeling like I said what I wanted to say?? does this happen alot. she said she didn't think it was TN.. but wanted me to try this RX.. Indomethacin.

) of the hips and DDD disease of the lower spine. I have terrible leg and thigh pain and take gabapentin for the neuropathy..this helps some..some days more than others. I have noticed when I take my celebrex(try not to use)..that the pain in my hips of course is less but also the thigh pain...so what I'm wondering does the inflamation in the hip joints radiate to the thighs????? this pain(thighs) somedays is excruciating. Any thoughts?

start getting chest pains and had shortness of breath issues. I got the paperwork back out....and yep....there was a warning of" possible increased risk of serious adverse cardioovascular thrombotic events, myocardial infarction and stroke, which could be fatal." Granted.....it said an increase risk......and POSSIBLE. I was scheduled for a test where anesthesia was required after I'd been on Celebrex for 3 weeks.....

My pain dortor gave it too me too and I had alot of success with it

My facets are pretty arthritic and I may need this one day, but with back pain you do what you can that will control pain, and "wait out the science" to see what improvements come along next year. I know if things get worse I can always Rhizotomize those nerves. Thanks for everyone's opinion and story. Chronic Pain will really affect you - so let's do our best to keep a positive attitude!

i started having hip pain and popping back in 2005. since then it has gotten worse. i have had multiple xrays, a nuclear bone scan, i have tried physical therapy (which made it worse) and with no avail i have no diagnosis!! the pain use to be every once in a while (due to exercise or over exertion).now its like i have pain all the time with out any breaks and now the pain has radiated up into the lower back. it hurts to do everything, walk stand, sit, and lay.

It's been 11 days and I seem to be going through the norm. I am in a lot of back and joint pain. I am going to see my pain management doctor today. I take meloxicam for arthritis and I think I'm going to ask for a change. I have been told that Celebrex and Indomethacin is a good non narcotic combination. Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated.

I started taking Celebrex two months ago and have gained 18 lbs since. I am wondering if anyone has gained weight on Celebrex? I have a sprained lumbar, lumbago syndrome with back spasms. I can't take narcotic pain meds. Any alternative to Celebrex? Naproxen does nothing for my pain.

I have read up on it a lot and it seems pretty harmless and safe, especially compared to other back pain medications. I have refused somas and other narcotics because I don't want to go down that road. Just concerned if say I work 5 days in a row and I take the skelaxin every day. Than I'm off for two days. Thy 6th and 7 th day will my body be craving skelaxin lol.? Any feedback any experience is appreciated.mthank you.

I did take Duloxetine previously for pain (adjunct to the Celebrex) and it did help, but my GP is skeptical that Gabapentin would help even if combined with Duloxetine. Does anyone else have Osteoarthritis and is unable to take NSAIDS and have you found a medication that works? Thanks in advance for your replies.

Then I lay down to sleep and I wake up with pain in my mid and upper back, usually across my shoulder blades and below. The pain subsides after twenty minutes or so but it happens every day. I just bought a new bed and it doesn't help. I would appreciate any ideas.

I have been on Celebrex, prednisone, plaquinal, methatrexate, enberol, folic acid, fosamax. I stopped celebrex and prednisone for one month, joint pain became worse, I am on Nexium for the gastritis. I have been healthy except for the rheumatoid arthritis. This burning pain and shortness of breath is getting me down. I have always been very active, walk at least 2 miles a day, now I am lucky to go around the block. I appreciate your responding to my question.

As a matter of fact 3 yrs ago I passed a kidney stone in hospital and would go so long without a pain inj that finally the nurse told me not to wait so long b4 asking for a shot. Back to my question. The last norco Rx was for 60 taps it lasted me about 2 months,but it just doesnt really help with the pain,makes my head fuzzy but pain relief isnt much better than ibuporfen 800mg.and thats not a level of relief that I can live with.

So glad I found this site, hope someone can comment. Been having "low low back problems" since April. I had a spine xray and a lumbar MRI, went to the ER I was in so much pain (that has never happened to me). They give me an rx for hydrocodne 10/325 (which I think I'm learning now is the highest dose?) So, I was taking about 4 of those a day, plus celebrex, which I stopped when I realized that was making me feel worse if I took it more than 3 days in a row.
