Cymbalta (duloxetine) or celebrex: what is better for treating osteoarthritis pain?

Celebrex (celecoxib): Is better for osteoarthritis. Cymbalta (duloxetine) is also good for generalized pain by changing how pain is processed in the spinal cord.

Work differently!: They both can be used alone or together! Both are effective, but my first Rx would be Celebrex!
