Sore Throat, Palpitations, Leg Cramps. Taking Celebrex. Suggestions?
I have been taking 200 mg Celebrex for almost 2 months. It has helped the RA pain but I keep a sore throat ,have some palpations, leg cramps and NO energy. I can't even exercise to stay active without getting to the point of exhaustion. I stopped taking it yesterday and have rested most of the day. Hoping I will feel better off of this than on it.

hi... you are taking celecoxib for the rheumatiod arthritis, it doesnot cause sorethroat, probably you have upper respiratory tract infection with tonsilittis/pharyngitis, which could be associated with all the other symptoms... weakness, leg cramps etc... take some antipyretics, antibiotics, multivitamins and lots of water.. see your physician for this.. all the very best..
