Osteoarthritis
"I have OA in my hands, knee, and spine.  I have been taking Celebrex for over 12 years.  I have slightly high blood pressure.  It could be from Celebrex but the benefits of Celebrex outweigh the possible side effects I have experienced.  I am having a second spine fusion in a week and have to stop taking Celebrex, per my doctor&#039;s request.  I have read more positives to keep taking it through and after surgery...I dread going off it because I will not be able to use my hands.  Celebrex improves my quality of life and I recommend anyone with severe arthritis to give it a try"
