I have been taking Celebrex (200 mg a day) for about five years for bone on bone knee osteoarthritis. It has worked well for controlling my pain (not perfect but pretty good). I also get some lower back pain (combination of osteoarthritis and nerve stuff) that only happens when I over-do (like trying to garden, etc.). I typically need a day or two of Vicodin for that as the Celebrex does not seem to work for that.
) 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. I can't barely move.
I am a runner and have been experiencing pain in my right knee for several years. I ran a lot in high school and then stopped for a while and have been trying to get back into it on and off for years (I am 28 now). for the last four years I have been experiencing sharp pain on the outside of my right knee starting usually after running about 3 miles. no pain when I am not running. It comes on gradually but I eventually need to stop running.
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.
I did started treatment 2 years ago for the stomach - Nexium 4mg (five family members died of colocancer)
I also have this strange pain in my hips down my legs - it starts and then after a while it feels better but then it feels tender over the vains and the muscles. Can this be my lower back.
Had a total knee replacement six months ago because of a torn ACL, torn meniscus and arthritic knee. The pain is now worse than before I had the replacement surgery. My knee is always swollen, stiff and hot to touch since surgery. I have taken Celebrex that helped the pain but had to stop because my kidney function BU/CU ratio is now elevated. I cannot take other NSAID's because they elevate my blood pressure. I have a history of chronic Lyme disease.
I had a knee replacement 5 weeks ago. I am getting around and doing the rehab very well. However, I still have a fair amount of pain and I am taking a nonnarcotic pain reliever and celebrex. At night, I go to sleep for an hour or two and then I wake up with knee pain and can't get comfortable or back to sleep. What can I do to stop this problem, my orthopedist is at a loss.
I had a meniscus tear in my knee had a menisctomy on June 7th 2009. i have been through therapy back into strength training so i could get back out on the soccer field. Its coming up on 5 months and i still cannot play. if i run it swells . The surgeon takes me off any activity and back on celebrex to reduce the swelling. Why is it taking so long ? I was told i would be playin soccer again in 8 weeks at the longest. Anyone else have this experience? does it ever get better?
I have the same problem with degenerative bones in lower back and bulging disks in neck so know how you feel, however, I am on day 5 of no hydros and yesterday my back hurt so bad I almost went to the emergency room. I had nothing to take so took a hot bath then put heating pad on it. Low and behold, today it felt better! Not like 100% better, still stiff and sore, but don't need pain killers better.
2 weeks ago, i start having lot of pain , not in my back but in my left hip down my left leg ending behind my knee, now i feel the pain lil bit on my left ancle. i did MRI last week and my doctor told me that i have herniated disk, and he's doing treatment for me it's been 10 days but i'm not feeling any better, and i feel lot of pain specialy when sitting and when standing up, and the major pain is in my left hip.
I got a cortisone shot to my left knee, more specifically to my IT band, this was last monday, its been almost a week since, the day after the injection was horrible, i developed severe pain over night, and it was really hard to bend the knee or walk, the pain has subsided little by little, but its still painful, specially when going up or down stairs, or when bending my knee.
I was actually put on Celebrex by Shands at the University of Florida when I started my second round of treatment. They did this to help keep my RA in check while I was on treatment. I was on Celebrex for 15 months (I was on treatment for 18). The problem with Celebrex is that long term use can be hard on the heart.
about the pain in my joints/knee/shoulder, she started me on celebrex over a yr ago, i found it didnt work, so i decided to try my own treatment, which is the stress ball, warm/cold cloths, my fingers are turninig inward and the knee/shoulder pain can be horrible, so my brother in law suggested i try glucosamine chondroitine capsules and i found they helped abit. well next time i see my Dr.
Since about 3 weeks I have severe pain on the back of my knee ( left leg), it hurts mostly when walking. Especially after sitting a while, If Advil don't help to ease the pain. I'm not a sports person have not done anything out of the ordinary. the muscle on my calves are very tight and sometimes cramp. I have done a ultrasound to rule out a blood clot. Fortunately nothing was found.
Thank you for any response.
I do stretch sometimes, put heat on.
I am a hepper with rheumatoid arthritis. I took Celebrex for a year while I was on treatment this last time at the recommendation of Shands at the University of Florida. I made the decision to come off the Celebrex on my own because of all the black box warnings that came out regarding the heart while on Celebrex.
I just came back from Shands on 7/21. I was up there for another evaluation after having relapsed for a second time.
i am 53 years old. i had surgery for torn meniscus in left knee on 10/13/2007, and i have been in pain since. i am currently receiving my 3rd round of synvisc. i have had 3 or 4 cortisone injections, they seemed to be helping but the times in between have gotten shorter. my dr. keeps telling me i'm too young for knee replacement. he tells me it's arthritis, i can't believe it. i am not overweight (147 lbs.), however, before the surgery i weighed 128 lbs.
um i woke up a few day ago and also had very bad knee pain and wrist pain on the right side. i could hardly stand.but there was no swelling . I am already on a steroid for another medical issue. right now i am being tested for a muscular disease and do not have the results yet. i also have a pinching, tearing, sorta pain in my left lower abdomen alot and the doctors still dont know what that is etheir.
UPDATE ~ received X-today, but it's unlikely anything will show up. I feel it's soft tissue damage. At least she confirmed swelling, and the blood pooling in my ankle, though it's not as bad as the 1st week of injury. Next will be an MRI after results are sent to her. She gave me a script for Celebrex because I can't tolerate most NSAID's.
Another question?? I have no back pain, could this possibly be sciatic nerve pain.
Hi, my mother is 52 years old she suffers from rheumatoid arthritis and it is currently in treatment to control the pain. Every 4 to 5 weeks she gets remicade and has to take methotrexate for the treatment to work. Also, in order to keep any flare up pains away she occasionally takes advil, darvocet, or celebrex (not all three together). On saturday her right leg below her knee started to swell up and yesterday it was not only the calf and leg that were swollen but her ankle was swollen too.
