Common Questions and Answers about Celebrex vs motrin
celebrex
How long does it take for full effect and can you take Motrin or Tylenol with it. My doc says that I can take the Motrin in between the Celebrex wearing off and the Limbrel taking hold. I just hope that this is the answer to some of my pain. It is beginning to get in the way of my daily living and I am scared that if this gets worse, how will I function? I am 58 years old and have just started to babysit my first grandchild in Sept.
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.
One issue in particular is my hands ache and throb so badly (i take celebrex for arthritis) that just the mere act of typing on my computer is very painful. Please know how grateful I am for not only responses to my questions, but to all of you who are brave enough to spill your painful addiction stories to us so that we don't feel so alone with this.
It does get worst at night. The OS has told me to take motrin or celebrex. the meds help but i am concerned about continued use of these for over 30 days now. The pain now is thru neighboring teeth into my cheeks and it is sharp. Second the pain is thru the front of the jaw and teeth as well. The jaw area in the back in also a little tender still. Not sure what I should do next.
I just took my 2d shot friday and noticed taking an motrin 800 before my shot and every 6 hrs thereafter plus eating a small meal again b4 bedtime kept me from getting nauseaus and headachey for the next 2 days. Does anyone have their own remedy that helps them on shot day?
Thanks for the advice. My orthopedist advised me to mobilize my left arm by slowly flexing and extending it to prevent stiffness. I don't have to apply ice anymore and the sling is for comfort only. Is it okay then not to use it all the time ? I felt heavy on this arm if I keep it as is without the sling. For inflammation, I'm taking Celebrex because I am allergic to all NSAIDS as Motrin, Alleve, Naprosyn, etc. although Celebrex is one of them but a Cox2 inhibitor.
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.
I have been prescibed Celebrex for osteoarthris pain. Can it be taken every day for long term management of arthritis.
Before diving into another invasive procedure, I visited a pain management doctor. ONE of the many things we did was try Celebrex. Now I was very skeptical as it had done nothing prior to surgery. But once my spondy was fixed I though - let's try it again.
I have to happily report that this NSAID really did work. So much so I was able to lay off the Vicodin and/or Norco as a supplement to "stay ahead of the pain".
Try Ibuprofen (Motrin) vs Tylenol; it is better for pain-related inflammation. Keep off the arm while lying. Do not do any lifting, but try to move the arm throughout the day. I just had the same problem myself a week ago; I like to hold onto my husband while sleeping and did it in the same position two nights in a row. My arm was in alot of pain, aching and such. Never had any problems with this in my life until now, but attribute it to getting older.
Can you take nexium one day and Prevacid the next? I am struggling to find something to help stop the burning in my chest and back. I started on Prilosec 4 years ago for GERD. When that didn't cover it, I was switched to Nexium. Then my primary switched me to Protonix 40 mg/daily. That worked for the last year. I tried taking Celebrex for a hip problem and that threw my reflux into overdrive! It's been 6 weeks and I can't get the flare under control.
a lot of pills but would rather do that than take drugs with bad side-effects (had really bad reaction to Celebrex). You can go to the website Arthritis Help For Me ******* for more info.
I am trying to follow an alkaline pH diet as much as poss - but it's not easy, do drink alkaline water tho'. I'm trying to ionclude more veggies and juice and have wheatgress juice when I can. Want to get some of the juice powder suggested on that website - next payday.
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.
Hopefully one of the more knowledgable members will come by, to answer this question, but until then, I definitely wouldn't give here Motrin, or Tylenol. Both those meds gave me severe cramps when I took them this year, and I only have fibrosis.
Is there an Advice Nurse you can consult, via the phone, at your local E.R.?
