Taken Celebrex, Zydol. Leg Pain. Due To Anti-inflammatory Medicine?
i have been taking Celebrex on and off for over ten years went off completely for a few years when it was getting a bad name. Recently taken off it again by my doctor who wanted me off everything except for Lyrica which I have been taking for last three months. I was on Zydol for about two months and had to get off that very addictive stufft. My question is that I am now experiencing pain in my leg the same one as the sciatica that feels like a varicose vein. Could the anti inflammatory medicine have been helping with my vein and now not helping?

Hello,
Non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs also have anti platelet action so prevent clot formation. But increase incidence of varicose veins is unlikely.
radiating nature pain indicates nerve root involvement and NSAID have minimum role in controlling the pain.
