Yes, go figure. For me I'm taking what I believe could be the least damaging I hope. Maybe the drug god will be good to me.
And what are you basing your “ belief” on since Ibuprofen is MORE likely to cause ulcers, elevate BP, cause renal problems and potentially elevate risk of CAD than Celebrex
Celebrex is safer than Ibuprofen and your beliefs won’t change that fact

I'll take my chances, thanks doc. Just about every drug can do damage. Some just more $$$ getting the damage.
I'd say the list of Side Effects is a lot different from those of Ibuprofen.
So you won't talk to a doctor about taking a medication, but you ask on a forum? I have the sneaking suspicion you already knew what your response was going to be before you posted.
It's about wanting validation for her own bias regarding prescription medications.
I use Celebrex for a few days at a time in preop situations. No problems. After a procedure is done I am back on prescription strength naproxen. Cost of Celebrex keeps me away not fear.

Fear and cost keeps me away. I have a friend who has taken Naprosyn for many yrs and I've always wondered about side effects, haven't talked to her in some time. This is the prescription strength naproxen as I understand. I took naproxen years ago and recall blood pressure elevation, so stopped.
Isn't naproxen the generic to Aleve?

Naproxen is the only NAID I use except for an 81 gain blood thinner at night. Naproxen had never had any side effects for me and neither has Celebrex. Most of the so called natural meds are a hoax when it comes to inflammation relief in my book. I've tried several with all completely failing. Placebos never work on me.
Nope, I've thought of Celebrex off and on for years and remember the Vioxx mess and I've mentioned a pharma anti inflammatory put me in the ER in the 80's with a stomach ulcer..drugs are drugs and they all come with their long list of possible side effects. Why they all come with the long list, and all the scientific brains developing them, still so many s/e. Just more profits for pharma? Who knows.
Well, what an unproductive wild goose chase this was! Why am I not surprised that we ended up where we always do on these threads? "Should I do this"......5 pages of posts...."nope, why give profits to big Pharma?!"
Everyone hates big pharma until their product saves a life that would otherwise been lost... I've seen it happen. Roger Maris died and my son lived. Both same type of cancer... I suspect that peanut butter has killed far more people than Celebrex... not to mention shell fish and wild honey...

Well you can't deny my posts give the attackers a lot of pleasure and something to do.
