Yes if the pain is similar and your doctor prescribed it. If you want, you can take acetaminophen 500 mg twice a day for 5-7 days in addition or in place of celecoxib. Also, please pay attention to the exercise regimen if you are doing as reducing pull of pectorals may help the healing as of my personal observation, no scientific study that I know of. Hope it helps.
