No: Like Celebrex (celecoxib), Motrin (ibuprofen) is an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug). They both can equally affect the kidneys negatively, but this is usually in older patients with less renal reserve. If you are 22 and have had some kidney injury from this, I suspect you have been taking Celebrex a long time. So stop Motrin. Your safer bet would be acetaminophen or tramadol.

No: Celebrex (celecoxib) has better profile since it is a selective cox 2 inhibitor than non selective classic NSAIDS On renal function decline at maximal doses
