THE SIDE EFFECTS IT OFFERS ALSO I KNOW OF AN OLDER WOMAN WHO TOOK IT AND HAD SOME HEART VALVE PROBLEMS . SHOULD I BE WORRIED ?
I took it for about a year and was able to stop taking it. and I had no problems with it at all.
Hi Devorah,
Celebrex is a mild anti inflamitory. It won't hurt you, Just make sure you eat before you take it as it can upset your stomache.
Don't be afraid of it, it will make you feel better and you obviously need it.
The Pharmasists have to list all the side affects but really they are very minimal. You don't have a hart problem do you?
You should be finr just listen to your body and don't worry stress makes things so much worse...
Take it easy
