A member asked:
Does celebrex (celecoxib) slow down healing of a stress fracture of the foot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No it should not: Celebrex (celecoxib) is an anti-inflammatory agent and should not have any affect on slowing down the healing of a fracture of any type. Best wishes for a quick recovery.
