Would you expect celebrex to be as effective as meloxicam on l5s1 back pain. or even more effective?

In one review by Chen et al in 2008, COX-2 selective NSAIDs such as meloxicam & celecoxib were found to be equally effective as ibuprofen and naproxen for arthritis. However, some results showed that meloxicam may be less effective in some cases. If you are seeking faster relief, Celebrex may be a better option; however, if you are looking for longer-lasting effects, Mobic may be the better choice
