| Add Celebrex review Have used this med for a very long time.But I started having bad headaches and knee pain.The doctor said that this med would not cause me to have these problems.I had headaches from morning to night every day for a good year.I stoped taking it and after a week my headaches are gone and my knee oain is gone.I need to find something else that may work. 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 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 Vioxx review no advirse troubles when using this drug. I had relief and was able to move much better. I have a variety of back issues, arthritis, etc and nothing has worked like Vioxx. I wish something was as effective but now I take Vicodin for the pain, which I really hate to do. When I was on vioxx,Oral, I had no problems. It eased my pain (lower back disc) and I was very upset that it went off the market. Since then, I have been given less than adaquate drugs for my back. I wish they would do more studies with more people than just a few complainers before stripping medicine that works for most than just the few. I say do another study and stop cry babies that just want to make a buck. | |||
