Do not take Celebrex (celecoxib): If you have a sulfa allergy, do not take Celebrex (celecoxib) perhaps consider Meloxicam (mobic) or Prilosec with naproxen.

Yes Big Problem: Celebrex (celecoxib) and your allergy. Given that your pain is not improved with conservative care, I would suggest seeing a pain/spine specialist to evaluate you further to evaluate what level the problem is at and what can be done to treat you. There are interventional treatments besides medications and surgeries that might reduce or eliminate the pain altogether.
