A member asked:
Is celebrex (celecoxib) recommended for long lasting joint pain?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes and no: Celebrex, (celecoxib) like any anti-inflammatory medication is helpful for any joint pain. However, this entire group of medications have potential serious side effects when used chronically including potential for bleeding and kidney damage. They generally should not be used for prolonged periods of time and should be carefully monitored.
