I've been prescribed celebrex for my joint inflammation (SI joints).  It definitely helps, but I only take it when really needed as I don't want to cause stomach issues. 

Just wondering if anyone else takes it, and if so, how often and how much?  Does it help you?  Any bad side affects?

Nope had some side effects to Celebrex, and could not take it...
Hope you can do good on this medicine, many well wishes...

I take Celebrex almost every day. 200 mg. My rheumy wanted me to take 400 mg, but I have decided not to do that. I also take MTX, Prednisone, and Tramadol for pain. I had a rheumy a long time ago who tore up my stomach w/Ibuprofen...he prescribed 2400 mg a day for a year. That pretty much ruined my stomach for any other NSAIDs. I have taken Celebrex on and off for years, and now I take it daily. No problems so far.

Yes I also take 200mg celebrex daily, I want to switch at end of the year because I have already had gastritis from them twice. Also as my AS is progressing, they aren't quite as effective as they use to be.
I will be looking into something I don't have to digest, thinking humira but don't want to get lupus. I'll see how things go and I might try it anyway.

AM sorry you've had such bad side affects and plus it's becomming less effective. It's awful when the things that are helping us, do harm. Good luck with the humira.
