Been on Celebrex since it came on the market, easy on the stomach and it works! I have DDD and severe shoulder/collar bone pain set on by a past car accident. I had been on Celebrex once before and it didn't do anything for me positive or negative. Recently the pain started getting unbarable so I descided to give it another shot and it seemed to help this go-around so I continue taking it 100mg twice a day.

I took Meloxicam for about 3 weeks then experienced extreme pain and weakness in both legs from hip to toes. Went off this drug for 3 months. My legs got better so decided to try the drug again.

I felt better takin ... Have been taking about a month and it has done wonders for me. Had gotten to where I could hardly bend my right knee and standing for periods of time was difficult. I have almost complete movement and standing is much improved. Starting taking in combination with Baclofen. Excellent results. Only side effects are pain relief. I work out a lot and may be why not other side effects as others are experiencing, such as water retention, stomach pain (take with food) or other issues. If allows me to continue strenuous exercise, will take forever! Must exercise in life! | |||
