Is Celebrex Effective For Pain Relief?
I have Fibromyalgia and also a budgling disc in the L5-SI area. Lately I have been having problems with sciatica from my hip down to my foot. Mainly, it is in the foot alone now. My doctor has me on Tramadol, Amrix, Premaysen and Lyrica. I am also on Celexa, Valium, ProAir and Advair for wheezing and brochotis once in a while. I also Gerd, for acid reflux I am on Prevacid. Well, with all these conditions, I want to know if Celebrex would be a good pain reliever for me?
