My grandma is 73. she's experiencing heel pain and toes. she's allergic to diclofenac. she has arthritis. do celecoxib help? how often should she take it?

It is best that your grandmother see her doctor. Older people and people on other medications may need the doses of medication adjusted. If she had a dangerous allergic reaction she is also at risk for an allergy to related drugs.
