I never took the drug but I do know someone very close to me who did, my grandmother. Celebrex ended up killing her a week and a half after being on it. My grandmother was perfectly healthy except for the fact that she needed hip surgery. So I advise you to not to use it. Please it was hard enough for me to see my grandmother, Giselle Bredesen go through the pain for it let alone know more people can be harmed from it. I just want to warn people about the terrible effects of the horrible medication.
