A member asked:
I want to stop taking celebrex 200mg for my arthritis pain because of the long term side effects, heart attack & stroke. i've been on it over 5 years?

NSAIDs: As rheumatologists, we now, educate patient said NSAIDs such as Celebrex should be taken as needed. I routinely recommend topical NSAID treatments as well as other pain medicines which are not opioids. I recommend being seen by a rheumatologist for more detail and specific therapy in your case.
