Celebrex for Fibromyalgia Pain
Celebrex is a drug that is a nonsteroid anti-inflammatory. Your doctor may prescribe
this drug to you to help with your fibromyalgia pain. The problem is that both fibromyalgia
and chronic myofasical pain are not inflammatory conditions. However, some say that NSAIDS
do help to a degree.
If someone were to have arthritis, in addition to fibromyalgia and chronic myofascial pain,
this drug may help considerably by taking care of the arthritis.

Only thing that has helped 10/14/17
Reviewed by:
Location Not Given
I have had terrible hip pain, ache all over, not able to sleep, brain fog. At times genitourinary problems. I have felt hopeless and trapped by pain. I took my husband’s Celebrex as a desperate trial. Within the hour I felt almost normal. Hip pain gone along with all other pain. It felt like a key clicked into place in my body and I felt relaxed. Tired but relaxed like I could finely rest normally. I don’t know if this will last but it is heavenly right now. I have been tested for arthritis and do not have rheumatoid arthritis. So I’m not sure why I have gotten so much relief.

NOT WHAT I THOUGHT 06/08/09
Reviewed by:
Location Not Given
I was put on this for several reasons, FMS, depression and oa. I hated it! Didnt do anything for the FMS, the depression got a bit better but it wasnt worth taking just for that. The OA never was touched nor the FMS...not what I thought would be a good FMS med!

Celebrex is the only drug of this type that helps 09/27/08
Reviewed by:
Location Not Given
I take 200 mg in the morning and 200 mg at bedtime. Any less and my joints are sore and painful. I am 55 and have no heart problems. The Celebrex reduces sore and tender joints. Aspirin, acetominophen, naproxen, or ibuprofen NSAIDs do nothing for my pain. I have not had stomach upset with Celebrex, but I am careful about this by having food with this medicine.

Cymbalta Helps me 06/12/08
Reviewed by:
Location Not Given
I was on 100 mg of cymbalta but my body head didnt like that dose. I cut down to 60mg and right away I felt an increase of pain but tolerable head conditions. I wish I could have stayed with the higher dose it really made a big differance with the fibro pain. Shouldn't hurt to try. It was given to me for my depression.

Celebrex and Fibromyalgia 11/11/07
Reviewed by:
Location Not Given
I have been chasing treatment for what I have been told is Fibromyalgia for 2 1/2 yrs. My worst symptoms were pain with sever inflamation and muscle stiffness. These symptims were causing sever depression. 3 months ago a dr. gave me celebrex for my inflamation. The ability to get a decent nights rest has improved my mental state and my pain and stiffness have improved to the point that I can even do a little gardening again. I am not sure I even have Fibromyalgia and neither is my current dr. but the lack of any other diagnosis at this time keeps me involved in the treatment for this condition.
