" I take Celebrex for low back pain and it works great. I only take it as needed because I get samples. I don't take it long so I don't know if it helps with fibro. "

" I have taken Celebrex and it was absolutely wonderful for pain relief...the only problem for me is that I ended up having an allergic reaction. I wish I could take it because it has been the only thing that truly helped. "

" I tried celebrex as well and it did seem to help but I had a reaction to that and about 5 other anti-inflamatory medications so I can't take any of them. I also have back problems, allot of back pain (read my profile too much to type, lol) I think my back pain/problems is probably what triggered my fibro to begin with, just something I have to deal with one day at a time.

" I took it and loved it. It was a little pricey, even through insurance, but it worked great for me.

My doctor took me off of it because he suspected GI issues with Celebrex and other NSAIDs I was taking.

I'm about to ask for it back because nothing else quite does it for me. "
