Celebrex and nerve pain
Common Questions and Answers about Celebrex and nerve pain
celebrex
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. After they denied me 4 or 5 times, they finally approved it. So now I take 400mg of Celebrex a day and it's a lot more effective than any other NSAID i've been on.
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.
One of my main complaints with the fibro is the debilitating fatigue. I try to plan doing something on weekend, and by the time the weekend comes, it's all I can do to do the laundry and groc shopping. Then sit the rest of the day doing nothing. I am on Lyrica for nerve pain, just quit Celebrex. I don't know what the lorect is. But I have many other pills I take. For muscle spasms, rapid heart rate, low dose aspirin, Tramadol for pain, etc.
I agree with Geminigirl that Celebrex might be a good option for you as it is specifically formulated to help with osteoarthritis pain. Celebrex is COX-2 inhibitor type NSAID and it is linked to heart attack and stroke. If you have high blood pressure, this medicine may not be the right fit even if it is controlled by blood pressure medications. And over time, NSAIDs increase blood pressure so that is a long term side effect that should be considered.
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.
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 were diagnosed yesterday with Cotsochondritis but do not know if it can be something else.
Hi my husband had an ulnar nerve transposition 5 years ago and it is a work comp case. He has been to to doctor several times during this period. He didn't experience any pain before the surgery at all, but since the surgery he has had constant, severe pain. He had an MRI done that didn't show anything wrong and a nerve conduction study done that showed nothing was wrong as well. The doctor acts like he thinks my husband is faking it, and he is not.
Sounds like a stronger pain medicine would help, and also I would go back to the doctor who hit a nerve and demand that he do something. Celexa is for arthritis pain, I'm surprised you're on this. Plus, Celexa has many side effects, which may be adding to your problems, I refused to take it. Can you tell me what type of kidney problems you have, and what is being done for 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.
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.
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.
2 times and less than 3 times the upper limit of normal) of liver associated enzymes was 6% for CELEBREX and 5% for placebo, and approximately 0.2% of patients taking CELEBREX and 0.3% of patients taking placebo had notable elevations of ALT and AST.
A patient with symptoms and/or signs suggesting liver dysfunction, or in whom an abnormal liver test has occurred, should be monitored carefully for evidence of the development of a more severe hepatic reaction while on therapy with CELEBREX.
Groin pain can accompany sciatica, depending on the condition that is causing the pain. I have SIJD and experience groin pain... a common occurrence with this condition or sciatica.
Piriformis syndrome can cause groin pain and sciatica pain. However being you are male your groin pain could be associated with a inguinal hernia or a male anatomy problem. It may not be connected with your sciatica so please consult a physician.
Sorry I cannot be more specific.
I do not know what my MRI results mean.

I have tingling and numbness in both legs. I have had this for 2 years. An epidural steroid injection helped the left leg for awhile but not the right leg.
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?
That pain gone nit left wiyh severe constant pain in middle of urethra, constant burning and strange discomfort just before head of penis. Pain in thhe middle of the urethra has hone after 2 months. Burning pain and discomfort not leaving me alone. I have seen GP , he says he has already given a series of antibiotics and he has nothing to offer.

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.
I have been seeing a rheumatologist and she thinks the reason why my hands are constantly falling asleep and swollen and my upper arms are hurting is due to carpal tunnel syndrome coupled with rheumatoid arthritis. I have had tests which have eliminated a pinched nerve. I am taking prednisone, Celebrex, and Plaquenil. My doctor wants me to take Methotrexate, but I don't want to take it as it is very hard on the liver.
So that was a little hard. Plus I have 2 kids. 12 and 8.) 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.
