A member asked:

Could a stomach ulcer from using celebrex (celecoxib) be asymptomatic perforate suddenly and cause pancreatits?

Yes and no: This is possible but in therapy you would be better with Celebrex (celecoxib). You physicians can evaluate you to see if you have the ulcer and it is even less likely you had it for pancreatitis for it but possible. Your physicians can have you see a gastroenterologist to clarify the diagnosis.

Yes: It is surprising how often ulcers are asymptomatic. Perforating ulcers usually cause pain. Pancreatic inflammation is an uncommon complication of ulcers. I hope that helps and that whoever had this unfortunate event has recovered fully.
