Celebrex
Maria thanks for the reply
I am now on five days of Celebrex and the stiff and sore lower back is much better but not great. How long does it take for this drug to work? and How long can you take this drug. Gil

re celebrex
Gil,
I took Vioxx which is much like Celebrex and it worked right away for me to alleviate pain. The only prob is that it also created chest pressure which turned to chest pain so had to discontinue it esp. when went off the market. I think because Celebrex is a Cox inhibitor and Nsaid type of drug that it should work for the period of time that you're taking it like however many hours it's supposed to last. I don't think you need a build up to happen in your system to "feel" benefits. May just be that it doesn't help. Vioxx worked really superbly for my cramps and my DDD but not any of the other type of pain that I had. good luck~ sometimes it's just trial and error, trial and error ... until something clicks!

I am sorry to hear of your continued pain . Also your doctor rushing out on you. Good luck finding another surgeon, i certainly would not go back to that guy who didn't have time for you. I was prescribed celebrex right after my hip was replaced although i never got a refill as my surgeon only wanted me to take it for a few weeks. Not sure about the details on that one. judy
