I am taking over  $500 worth of medications already and have been prescribed Celebrex, which costs $136 for 30 tablets. This is for Arthritis pain nearly disabling me. I have taken Celebrex in the past with no adverse reactions. But I simply cannot afford it.

    I am 63 years old, and do not have any insurance, and only work part time. I would appreciate any help or advise you could help me with. Thank you for your time, Elizabeth Chapman
