Celebrex vs Vicodin
 | Celebrex |  | Vicodin |  |
| Celebrex is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), specifically a COX-2 inhibitor, which relieves pain and swelling (inflammation). It is used to treat arthritis, acute pain, and menstrual pain and discomfort. The pain and swelling relief provided by this medication helps you perform more of your normal daily activities. | Vicodin is used to relieve moderate to severe pain. It contains a narcotic pain reliever (hydrocodone) and a non-narcotic pain reliever (acetaminophen). Hydrocodone works in the brain to change how your body feels and responds to pain. Acetaminophen can also reduce a fever. | |||

I recently ran out and had to wait a week for payday to come around a ... I have advanced chondromalacia in my knees and severe degeneration L5-S1. I think for mild degenerative pain, Celebrex probably would be helpful, but for my moderate pain it is of no benefit. Doc wants me to continue to take it for its anti inflammatory properties. Costly. I also take Tramadol, as needed for pain management. Personally, i think Celebrex is an overrated medication! | Add Vicodin review somerelief Good drug - especially for my sinus infections.
