Celebrex not working
Common Questions and Answers about Celebrex not working
celebrex
Thank you for your help-you are right-this is not pleasant! I thought maybe I could just switch them but Celebrex doesn't seem to be doing anything for me right now. I think maybe it just needs some time to build up in my system. I left a msg for my doctor requesting advice on tapering off Nucynta (I have enough left to do so). I just moved to a different state so in between doctors and trying to switch meds so I can start working while dealing with chronic pain-not a fun time.
Hi so I have real bad body pain and health issues that cause it. I have found myself buying pain pills Percocet 5/325 and Vic 10s and take 1 sometimes 2 a day. And have been for a little over a month now. However my Dr is now giving me celebrex and it isn't working and I am scared that I am building up a tolerance to pills. Should I go a week and be miserable and then try the celebrex? My body hurts so bad I can't even move some days and I have 5 kids with the youngest being 2 yrs old.
Ime really worried about taking these etoricoxib even tho i was assured by the receptionist that they are not in the same family as celebrex and meloxicam..I really do believe that the celbrex caused you to have the bowel obstructions as with me it caused me to lose the lining of my stomach and also a huge flare up of ulcerative colitis which as soon as my own doctor the visited me i was rushed in and he told me i should never even of been given them..Anyway just be careful what you take.
It is my opinion that each of us have to research the medications we take and make our own decisions based on that research and our comfort levels. Personally I would not take Celebrex long term but I take acetaminophen (tylenol) long term which can be just as risky. So it's an individual decision. Does it significantly help your pain? If it does that would certainly be a large part of my decision process.
I hope my input has been a bit helpful for you.
I was told today by my awesome insurance company that they will not cover Celebrex. I have been on meloxicam for many years. I'm on day 25 norco free and working with my pain management doctor on non narcotic relief. I thought this maybe a good choice but the insurance company disagreed. Any opinions on arthritis relief options. I have liver issues and I'm tested every 6 months. I also have stenosis, 2 bulging discs and one that has been detached.
I am a bit foggy from the meds (non narcotic and small amounts prescribed by an addictional specialist but so I would be able to detox from home and still function) I am ok....Not great but OK...I stopped some of the things she prescribed me b/c they made me so foggy and groggy. She told me not to work but I did work every day this weeek anyway and it was good because it kept me busy and helped the time go by faster! My body is a bit achy but I took some celebrex and hope it will help.
Naproxen is just ibuprofen, which is Motrin and Aleve. I would think Celebrex would help a lot more than Naproxen. It can't hurt to ask for it. Naproxen didn't do anything for me, except hurt my stomach. The Celebrex helped a lot, right away.
Not sure I ever met someone that was fun who was in pain....but listen to him, sounds like he cares....
Rhythm abnormalities (early de-polarisation/ re-polarisation) may not be related to celebrex use. The heart complications of celebrex are due to an increased incidence of clot formation and consequent heart attacks/ strokes. A few experimental cases of arrhythmias have been shown in animals, but these have not been significantly proved in humans.
My great aunt took Celebrex too- for her rheumatoid arthritis, but you may want to look into potential side very serious side effects and weigh that into considering it.
It may take a few weeks for the inflammatory process to subside. Medrol and celebrex are not absolutely necessary but highly advised, since these would take care of the inflammation and the discomfort. Yes, most causes of ulnar neuritis are due to pressure/ irritation at the elbow and hence adequate rest and proper positioning is important for healing. You may try wearing a crepe bandage to keep the elbow from bending.
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?
t remember what it was but it didnt seem to help, so he prescribed diclofenac and it caused me to retain water so he prescribed Celebrex, which I felt was working, but when I went for my regular check up he had blood work done and low iron were the results. So now he is requesting the upper GI evaluation. I am currently just taking extra-strength Tylenol. I took Tylenol arthritis, but it didn't seem to help any more than just regular extra-strength Tylenol.
Celebrex is a NSAID... for some it may be ok and others not..largely depends on the condition of your liver and other health factors that the prescribing doctor should be aware of ... here is a past discussion on pain meds.

I typically need a day or two of Vicodin for that as the Celebrex does not seem to work for that. These have worked for years, but I was recently diagnosed with lymphoma and told that Celebrex is not recommended with the oral chemo medication they want to put me on (Ibruntinib) because of severe bleeding issues. So obviously I am going to have to find an alternative pain med for my osteoarthritis. Tylenol doesn't do a thing. Vicodin doesn't really do much either (not for the knee pain).
