| I haven't taken Celebrex, but my mother-in-law did. She had switched to Vioxx because she couldn't stand the swelling, just as you described. (I don't know what she's switched to now, since Vioxx went off the market.) HTH,

I have been taking Celebrex for several years with no side effects other than I feel better with it than without it. I take only 200 MG daily. However with all the criticizm of these types of medications I'm wondering if my rheumatologist will decide to take me off it. I know of several people who were unable to take Celebrex so your wife is not alone.
Good luck. |

| I took her off for two days now and she has not swelled any more and I truly believe she is allergy to this.But she hurts so so much,ever morning it hurts her to get moving around.He placed her on some strong pain med and her body is got used to this and it is like taking water.You can't even tell she takes any thing.She takes 3 a day and trust me unless she tells someone you could never know it.She hurts the same and it is oxicotin.She has never even went to sleep,felt high or what ever way you are suppose to feel.She wants to come off this because she says it is doing nothing but when she try not taking it she had withdrawls.She crys because she says she don;t want to take it because it does nothing but make her body crave it when she trys to leave it off.they had her on lortab7.5 and you could never tell it either.They tell me she has a low pain tollerance.We just do not know what to do.She said the celebrex helped her better than the oxicotin.I was taking Vioxx and it was a great drug but they took it off the market.We try talking to my wife dr and we get no where.He just told her to take just two instead of three and wean her self of it.But she did not steal the pres pad,and he ought to help her come off it.She takes 40mg 3 times a day.She been on it for 2 years.Any advise would be greatly apprcaited.we are at our wits ends.We don't know what to do.She has had 4 back surgeries and now these stints in Sept.Greg |

| I'm so sorry your wife is having such a time. Chronic pain can be very difficult to deal with. I take several medicines to manage Rheumatoid and osteo arthritis- Have you thought about a second opinion? A different doctor? Or maybe a pain management clinic? |

| Thank you Gmom74.I apprecaite you all talking to me being a man.I am so worried.Someone told me to take her to a Arthitis dr (rheumatologist )but do you or anyone know if they write pain med.Someone said they only write inflamation drugs.But some other person said they do write pain med and they could run test to see what type of arthitis she has.My mom says my wife has rheumatologist arthitis she beleive.What does a pain management do?I like to know a little about these drs before taking her.She hurt so much today because I could not let her have the celebrex.I don't know rather to talk to the dr about going up to a 80mg on her pain med or what.I just don't want her to suffer,but I know for fact her body is got used to the 40mg and she is still in lots of pain.Any help I will love,and so would my wife.She just wants out of pain.Greg |

| Rheumatoid arthritis is an extremeny painful disease. And yes, if she has arthritis, the dr. will give her something to help with the pain. If there is inflammation, just controlling that helps the pain, too. I learned the hard way that even my regular dr. doesn't know anything about arthritis. He even told me at first that my problem was 'empty nest syndrome'. In other words, all my pain was just in my head. I went to a rheumatologist who discovered that I had RA. (Rheumatoid arthritis) He started from there to find something that would help me. It is a try and try again to get the right medications. What might help one person will not necessarily help the next. There were problems with my being allergic to some of them and some of them not doing a thing for me. I was referred to a pain management clinic once but I never went. I think they can teach you to do things that help, but I'm sorry, I don't know what. But if there is any chance she has arthritis, she needs to be in the hands of a rheumatologist. If there is one near you it is certainly worth looking into. I used pain medications at first but they caused me to have hallucinations so I quit using them. After the arthritis got under control, I don't need much now other than Tylenol. I use prednisone, Methotrexate and do the Humira shots. I ran through Remicade in about three years. There are, of course, side effects with some of these medicines. The dr will guide you. |

| I took it briefly until I heard that it was causing problems with some people. I quit taking it. Can't remember if there was any swelling or not as I didn't take it very long. I take water pills, so if there would of been swelling, maybe they helped to keep it at a minimum. Vera |

Internet Pharmacy

| Hi, I want to offer a service for affiliates and people who want to gain information regarding online pharmacy services and products. Internet Pharmacy We specialize in generic equivalents to the namebrand medications that you need. Only the best quality medication is available at Safemeds. So your looking for an Internet Pharmacy and you just don't know which one to choose! That is a real concern for most people for many reasons and many of them are real concerns. Questions are in the minds of all of us and Safemeds just wants you to know that not all online pharmacies are the same. You can't trust all of them and finding the right one can be difficult and time consuming. Like any other kind of business whether it's on the internet, or in your local town, you have to use caution. Some businesses are more interested in your money than the product or service they provide these days. This is not the case here and nor has it ever been. The best business is one's returning customers and Safemeds knows it. You can find more info at:
