Hoping this will help soon it's getting harder and harder to do anything and they also said 3 of my fingers have something called trigger finger this is all new to me going from being able to do anything to just about nothing and I'm only 53yrs.old
Thanks Dan
The Celebrex should help w/the pain almost immediately, but the anti- inflammatory benefits seem to take a little longer. I take 400 mg of Celebrex a day, and I really notice if I miss a dose. I also take 10 mg of prednisone a day. Are you taking any prednisone, Dan? What other meds are you taking?
Best Wishes,
V

You are so right, Ruth. Aleve helps me alot, but I just cannot tolerate it because of my stomach, but Celebrex helps me, too. We all have RA and yet RA medications work so differently for all of us.
