celebrex

[kageyd]

Is anyone here using Celebrex for pain relief? I have had osteoarthritis for four decades, and used Vioxx until it was taken off the market, then switched to Celebrex, which I've been using for years with no side effects. It is a lifesaver in terms of pain relief for me, keeps me walking and climbing the subway stairs. I don't know if it works as well for RA (I'm newly diagnosed, and it's mostly in my hands at this point), but since it's a pain reliever I suspect it would work well for RA as well as osteo. (I can't use any NSAIDs because I am on coumadin and all of them counteract the effects of anticoagulants, and I also have had bad experiences with aspirin, so thank goodness for the celebrex!). Just tossing celebrex out to see if anyone else has had experience with it. Kageyd
