celebrex for cancer

Fosamax is safe for liver patients. Celebrex in the short term (for a couple of weeks) should not be harmful. However, it is not something he wants me on for any length of time.

thank you for answering my questions. Yes, I wonder too about the quality of life. I have 90 pills to use up and then after that I will decide if I really need to continue. I have a Drs. appt. in April. The last Dr. i saw recommended I try Tamoxifen. Reading other comments suggests that tamoxifen is for premenapause women so why did that dr. prescribe that for me? Since I am 74. Reading other comments suggests that arimedex leads to weight gain. that I do not want.

wouldnt the bile reflux be seen during endoscopy? My symptoms did start after i started taking celebrex for a shoulder pain. took for 10 days and docs thought this is what caused my gastritis. he first told me to double up on my aciphex and when that didnt work he switched me to dexilant. this was in march, if the celebrex caused this wouldnt it have healed by then? Should i try a different ppi?

thanks for the reply...as for celebrex I can't take due to my allergic reaction to sulfer... which Celebrex has in it....So I have NO IDEA what I can take that is NON narcotic????

I took Celebrex for several years for joint pain due to Crohn's. I keep having bowel obstructions so I went to a new dr. He told me to stop taking the Celebrex and start taking a tylenol everyday. I have not had any more obstructions but I do still have some joint pain.

I have been prescibed Celebrex for osteoarthris pain. Can it be taken every day for long term management of arthritis.

have them laser removed and immediately start using an aldara and celebrex combo for a year. tell your doc you are really stiff or something to get the celebrex... maybe do some research and tell your doc what he/she needs to hear because insurance isn't going to cover it for your warts but it has been proven to work. it's not FDA approved yet.. too new of a treatment. There is an HIV drug that cures HPV as well, it's called Lopinavir - also not FDA approved for HPV.

So I went to my doc, he found a slightly swollen lymph node and ordered me some antibiotics (which I have finished taking) and celebrex (still taking). The pain has now changed, it feels more localized in my armpit now instead of upper chest above left breast. It is a radiating pain I feel when I have my arm in front of me like when I sit at my computer or drive. I have done minimal working out because I worried it would stress it out too much and apply heat presses occasionally.

Powerful computing techniques were employed before the researchers ever considered celecoxib as a potential treatment for cancer. Celebrex is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, or NSAID, and a Cox-2 inhibitor, meaning it helps control inflammation by inhibiting an enzyme known as cyclooxygenase-2. It is most commonly prescribed to treat the pain of arthritis.

true, I was on celebrex for a short time and it did not work for me. I thought it was making even more edgy and did not help with my muscle & joint pain. I think just like everything else, it is different for different people. Good luck & welcome to the forum.

I'm having some strange symptoms. I have little painful lumps growing on a couple of my finger and toe joints. I often get cramps in my hands, legs and feet. Had thyroidectomy a few years ago for Thyroid Cancer. Dr. still having trouble adjusting Synthroid. I'm tired all of the time but get plenty of sleep. Currently Thyroid levels OK. Hace seen a Rheumatoligist who ordered a bunch of lab work and x-rays of hands. Results are not in yet.

The tests you need to ask for are Free T3 and Free T4, which are actual thyroid hormones and TSH which is a pituitary hormone that stimulates the thyroid to produce thyroid hormones. Many doctors will only want to order the TSH - insist on the Free T3 and Free T4, as well.

My mom who is also suffering from chronic pain due to a back injury she sustained from a bad fall eight years ago, was also prescribed Celebrex by a surgeon who is an expert in pain management. Well, my mom was on the Celebrex for only two days. She felt very ill on the Celebrex and went off the Celebrex by herself as it was making her symptoms worse. Yes, I've also heard that Celebrex has cardiac risks, didn't know about the g i bleeding.

The latent period before an effect on deaths was about 5 years for oesophageal, pancreatic, brain, and lung cancer, but was more delayed for stomach, colorectal, and prostate cancer. For lung and oesophageal cancer, benefit was confined to adenocarcinomas, and the overall effect on 20-year risk of cancer death was greatest for adenocarcinomas (HR 0·66, 0·56—0·77, p<0·0001).

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?

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 assume VEGF inhibitors have some effect on cancer cells before a tumor appears but it isn't clear to me how that can be if it shuts down the abiliity to form tumors by restricting blood supply. Does it have effect on cells and if so how? Thank you. This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/722138'>Nexavar</a>.

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?

This might not be a potential case for lawsuit. These are the known side effects of celebrex, which may be more pronounced in some individuals. Though celebrex carries the risk of gastritis and GI ulceration, like other NSAIDS; the incidence is slightly lower as compared to others. Symptom of GI reflux can be aggravated by it. Rhythm abnormalities (early de-polarisation/ re-polarisation) may not be related to celebrex use.

I just got this diagnosed and the gave me a steroid shot in the inflammed area ...the dr also gave me a script for celebrex to keep inflammation down.....i really don't feel like taking these pills because of side effects....would it really be bad for the healing if i don't take them?

Can I take two celebrex pills? They are 200mg. I still have some aches and it has been all ready about 4 hours ago I took 200mg.

Regular doc says I need to take celebrex for arthritis pain. I know it is a NSAID so I am scared of it. He thinks it is not a problem with hep c, but he is not a Hep C doc. What is the scoop on it? Any one taking it with Hep C?

I've tried taking Norco, which is like triple strength vicoden, and has helped me with other pain in the past...it does nothing. The Neurologist gave me Ultram to try...nothing. The Celebrex, shockingly, has helped. The only thing I can think of is that it is helping to reduce the inflamation somehow and that is somehow helping. But when I googled Celebrex & Cancer stuff showed up that said Celebrex has been known to help with cancer pain when standard stuff has failed.
