Common Questions and Answers about Celebrex and prednisone
celebrex
m sure is a large part of my problem. I have been on various types of nsaids, plaquinel, prednisone, and celebrex - and a calcium channel blocker for the raynauds. I have never heard of so many drugs being used in combination before. But it makes sense for sure that they would compliment eachother. Do you find yourself with many side effects? Early on I was discouraged by a stomach ulcer and other stomach issues.
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.
My doctor, at the time, diagnosed with me with anxiety and shoulder inflammation and prescribed Lexapro and Celebrex. I noticed a bit of relief with the Celebrex, but did not continue taking it. Nine months after the start of the pain, I woke up in the middle of the night in the worst pain of my life (up to that point). Several minutes later I passed out for approximately one minute. One month later I passed out twice in one week for unknown reasons.
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.
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.
Hello everyone. I'm a 42 year old male and I've been relatively healthy, but it seems as soon as I hit 40 things started going downhill. I developed Achilles tendonitis in my left leg, which after all kinds of physio therapy and stretches has still not been resolved 2 years later. I am now developing the same issue in my right leg, and also tennis elbow in my left elbow.
My two daughters take Celebrex as a person would take Advil here or there and do fine with it .. they both cannot take ibuprofen. My son cannot take it since birth as he gets bad reflux from in ..
They make custom made ibuprofen suppositories if you really need a NSAID but cannot do it by mouth and they are wonderful .. you need a compounding pharmacy but my co pay was only $8.00!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Hi all! I am new to this forum and have been reading all of your messages. A lot of you are just like me...wanting to find something to help with the pain. I am 58 yrs. old and take Celebrex for a disc problem in my back. Then, a few months ago, I noticed that my hip was paining, then my wrist, then my shoulder...My hip has become the worst - it keeps me from sleeping most nights since that is the side I sleep on.
I too was to go back one week later and get another but did not. I remember I was on celebrex and broke out into hives and it was after I stopped taking these that it swelled and did not go away. I had an appointment with a specialist a few weeks later a specialist and after one look they knew it was infected. My hand was very swollen even the fingers and very painful. I was admitted to the hospital and had surgery and IV antibiotics for a week!
m on plaquenil, prednisone (tapering down from 5 mg), imuran (150 mg per day), humira (injection every 10 days), celebrex (100 mg twice daily), and elavil (for insomnia and chronic pain of metatarsalgia & nueralgias in foot) plus medium & Zantac for GERD & Barret's esophagus, and I'm doing pretty well!
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.
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.
I'm a 55 yr old woman, very athletic and strong. I've run competitively for years, and cycle wt train and swim. 1 and a half yrs ago diagnosed with severe cervical spinal stenoisis, compression of spinal cord. So far I've been treating it with cortisone injections and predisone, also celebrex. I've been advised to avoid surgergy at all costs. What is the most cutting edge research in alternative procedures?
