User Reviews for celecoxib oral

Water got into my right ear while I was swimming last week. The next morning, I felt unbearable pain in my ear until night time, which cause my sleepless night. The next day after that, I went to an EENT doctor and he gave me this and prescribed me an ear drops. He instructed me to take this Celecoxib only once a day, the ear drops 3x a day, for 8 days then will be followed by my scheduled ear cleaning next week. I drink this at 8pm and the effect of this drug lasts for more than 10-14hrs on me, so it helps me sleep thru the night and wake up feeling a bit good. I can also go on my morning routine as normal. Once its effect subsided, I take another non prescription pain reliever so as to function as normal again. When I started taking this drug, I drink a lot of distilled water, around 3 to 4 liters in 24 hrs, maybe because it makes me more thirsty than usual. Read More Read Less

Works well for me as a pain reliever after multiple knee surgeries from being hit by a car.

I had been self prescribing my arthritis pain relief by taking 8 tablets of Ibuprofen and 2 tablets of Tylenol Arthritis, daily. My physician warned that it wasn't good for my liver. He told me to discontinue the Ibuprofen and continue with Tylenol Arthritis, along with celecoxib. It did not help. My pain continued to worsen. Sometimes I can't walk at all. Then my health insurance decided to stop covering celecoxib as a generic. I didn't call in a refill. Have been without it for 10 days. Absolutely no difference in my pain level. It's proven itself as a useless drug, in my case.Read More Read Less

Experiencing nausea and severe heartburn despite using with Pantoprazole. Has had a modest effect on paid though. Except now I have other problems.

taking 200mg to reduce pain and so far has not worked. taking for pain and swelling in right trap. may have reduced some inflamation.

I was switched to this drug from Celebrex, and it was awful. I actually didnâ??t realize they switched my me to a generic, because it looked the same, I never checked the label. After 6 weeks of misery, including having to wear a thumb brace, get a knee brace, and could barely walk, X-rays, you name it, I realized the drug change. I had to go through a bit of an ordeal to get my brand name Celebrex again, but as soon as I got back on it, the pain was gone. This is not a suitable substitute for Celebrex. Read More Read Less

It has relieved pain and swelling in knees so I can walk without pain. I do use generic and works fine.

Removed both the pain and the inflammation of tissue that was operated on, making it painfree to walk where as before walking put strain and pressure on the healing inflamed area of upper, front pelvis making the swelling worse. Worked better than the panadol oeteo and endone taken previously

4 months of pain with tennis elbow. Lost 2 inches in length in the arm d/t pain and compensating but physician prescribed the drug and am totally pain free and length returned in arm. Too bad I only have a 14 day supply.

I am dissappointed as I expected more pain relief. Dr put me on 200mg of Celecoxib to ween me off the copious quantities of Panadol and Ibuprofen that were no longer managing the pain from osteoarthritis in hip and knee. It is upsetting my stomach and I'm not getting the pain relief I hoped for.

I've been taking celecoxib for about a month and I don't think it's doing anything.My joints actually feel worse.I guess its time for the next med.

I started taking this 3wks ago,my knuckles were the only thing swelling,but now all of my joints hurt,stopped taking it 3 days ago, hoping the pain will go away.

I had back pain due to compression fracture on L-1, L-2. As i get old the disk starts to give me problems. It use to the insurance would let me have Celebrex. Now medicare would not allow brand name drugs only generic! This celecoxib does not do a thing! Taking it its like not taking anything! Doctor request celebrex, but medicare would not grand it!

I have taken Celebrex and the generic when it became available for many years for arthritis, particularly of the hands and spine. This particular generic does not work nearly as well as the previous capsules. I feel I have wasted my money on them and would have been better off with arthritis strength Tylenol. Very disappointed.

I still with pain especially burning pain on my knees

I have been on 800mg motrin for my osteoarthritis for over 20 years. My doc said she wanted me off the motrin, and to try this. One pill per day is better than 3 pills per day, and I can't begin to describe how much I'm NOT in pain any longer!!! I feel almost NORMAL. Yes, my knee still gives out sometimes, but that's to be expected when you are bone on bone. But the pain is GONE!!! It's wonderful to walk without pain, to sleep without pain, to FUNCTION without pain!!! Oh, why did they keep me on the motrin for so long if this was around???Read More Read Less

This was prescribed by my doctor after total knee replacement surgery. It seemed to reduce the pain a bit. Probably as good as aspirin but lasts longer? I hope not to need this for long time use.

I drive a lot of miles, spending hours doing it. I take it after a day of driving and the pain melts away, relaxing me, relieving the pain. It works great for me.

my knees still hurt
