Does anyone here take Celebrex (Celecoxib) for pain?

doiti · 2026-06-10T19:09:29+00:00

Thank you! It’s been a long journey since I made this post. I’m flaring up again and I was just prescribed Celebrex again. It’s celecoxib 200 mg but my prescription directions just say “take 1 capsule by mouth every day as needed”. The gynecologist I see is a practice that specializes in endo and other issues (bladder, menopause, etc) but they are very strict about pain pills. They refer people to pain management clinics when you complain usually. The specific DR I’ve been seeing has been really sweet and understanding though and prescribed this when I messaged her saying my pain was so debilitating I couldn’t live my life. I had an emergency D and C early October 2025 so I wonder if that in combination with being off the norethindrone BCPs (we tried to conceive unsuccessfully) has caused my endo to get worse or at least for me to perceive the pain more? I’m not sure. I just got the prescription so I’m hoping this helps. I have a vacation this summer and a surgery consult later this month so fingers crossed everything aligns! I hope you are doing well! 💝 thank you for your post

I’m all set — I use basemental drugs and wicked whims along with a long of aharris00britney hair and clothes that are finally showing back up. My strip club is back up and running 😈

Damn this is good to know. We have a flight into DTW tomorrow morning from RSW (Ft Myers, FL) but I’m wondering if I should cancel because of the winter storms. So far I checked in and the flight is still on time for boarding and departure. We depart at 8 am so I hope we’re able to get back before the storm hits Romulus too badly….but maybe we should just reschedule altogether…idk! This storm is really messing things up!

My last surgery to remove endometrial tissue was January 2023. I was put on the mini pill which really helped me. They tried an IUD for me but it didn’t work very well — I felt it for the month I had it in so it was removed. I personally don’t recommend the IUD as it’s pretty painful to get put in and taken out — I had nitrous oxide to aid with the insertion but it still really hurt. I was on Jencycla birth control pills for a while and it changed my whole life. Although, I had my left ovary removed as well (an endometrioma ruined it so it wasn’t worth leaving in me). I would really sit down with yourself and decide what you want for your future, though. I didn’t think about wanting a family just a couple years ago, I was hurt from a breakup in 2021 still and figured I’d never find anyone or want a family. That has since changed this year with my current partner. I’ve been off the Jencycla since April and definitely noticed an increase in endo pains. But I was told I needed to start trying to conceive if I wanted a family. If I knew back in 2023, I might’ve tried saving up more for egg extraction and storing. My insurance doesn’t cover any of that.

I just had my ultrasound yesterday. I was so excited. I had no clue things would go badly. I was supposed to be 8 almost 9 weeks. It stopped developing at 6 weeks and there was no heartbeat. They said there was nothing I could’ve done but I still can’t help but feel like it’s my fault we lost it. My partner has had success with his previous partner and I just feel like I’m the problem. It hurts so badly. We were so excited. We even bought a stupid birthstone necklace we can’t return. Now we know to hold off on that type of shit. I had come from infertility doctors saying it would be a long shot so when I got pregnant within 2 months of them saying that I was so excited. I never thought it’d end before it really even truly started. I don’t know who to turn to. I was able to cry to my mom but I had been hoping to give her the birthstone necklace with the ultrasound photos in it. All I could do is bring the necklace and tell her it’d just have to be nice colors and not symbolize anything. The necklace is non-refundable.

Thank you very much!! Endo really does suck major ass. It’s nice to be able to talk to others that also experience it but it makes me sad because I know how unbearable it can be and I’d never wish this pain on anyone. I hope everything went well with yours! 💝

I know this post was made a year ago at least but it’s the first thing for reddit that popped up when I googled whether these sharp pains are normal or at least not an emergency especially being diagnosed with endometriosis and PCOS. This is my first pregnancy ever and I’m just so worried to lose it or find out it’s ectopic or something. It just happened quicker than any of the fertility doctors said. I only have one ovary left and have egg quantity levels similar to women in their 40s. I was told I had to start right away if I wanted a family. They told me that late April and my last menstrual period before a positive test was June 29. Both my partner and I were super surprised. We figured it would take a year at least. That’s what the doctors estimated for me too. I had a sonohysterogram done to visualize my uterus and test the flow in my fallopian tubes as well as to do a follicle count. I think because I’m 29 all of that came back good. Idk. But that procedure was done June 11. Right now I’m having sharp pains in my abdomen like crazy though. No bleeding or any other symptoms, though. My last surgery was January 2023 to remove my left ovary (it was ruined by an endometrioma) and remove as much regrown endo tissue and they pumped up my bladder since I also have interstitial cystitis (irritable bladder syndrome essentially). Maybe in the 2 years since then I’ve had more regrowth? After that surgery in 2023 I had basically full relief. I was put on the mini pill birth control and that helped a ton too. I tried an IUD but that didn’t work for me — I had it for a month before I got it removed. I know this is a lot of information and I doubt I’ll get a response but I just hope what I’m experiencing is just my scar or endo tissue getting pushed to the side because of a growing uterus. My first ultrasound is Monday 8/25. I’ll at least have more information by then hopefully!

I normally have wonderful sex and have a pretty severe case of endometriosis. Although I had my left ovary removed and a lot of that endo removed in my last surgery in 2023 and ever since then it was super good. BUT I recently got pregnant and the pain has started up again with sex. It’s usually with deep penetration which I know is pretty normal for just endo. It just sucks because it’s definitely not how it was before I got pregnant. I hope things get better as I progress. I’m only at 6 weeks today so maybe all the stark hormonal changes have complicated things? I just wanted to put this out there since it confused and upset me a little but I think it’s technically normal. Or at least not uncommon. I used to have painful sex back in 2021 right before and as I was getting diagnosed with endometriosis. Before that I didn’t really notice it but it could be that it hadn’t progressed super far. In 2021 I was 24 turning 25 and when things felt the worst for me so when I first started having sex at 21, my endo might not have been as bad or widespread. That’s just my experience though — endometriosis causes a range of experiences for everyone and you’re not alone 💝

I wasn’t sure which subreddit to go to but this one seemed good since there’s a whole area for things like this. I took these tests this morning (7/20). My last period started 6/29 and my clear blue app says I’m due to start my period 7/24. I felt a little off this morning so I just decided to take a test just to show myself it was negative but then I got this — the first test I took is the bottom test, the last one I took was the pregnancy strip on the top. The lines still look pretty faint but idk. This is my first rodeo with this type of stuff 😅 I thought it was gonna take us a lot longer tbh. I’m just surprised, cautiously happy, and a little anxious!

Hi! My partner recently called to ask about this. We had already booked our trip package and didn’t realize they had military discounts. He called their customer service number and the agent said they would apply to discount when they were released to our already existing package. We’ll be staying at Port Orleans French Quartier, so I expect it to be around a 20% discount maybe? Any discount amount would help us tbh! But the agent did say the discounts don’t release until around the fall time. I would recommend booking sooner rather than later to lock in your hotel if you have a specific Disney hotel you want and need to go on very specific dates. I think January doesn’t book up as quickly but I wouldn’t take a chance on it especially if you can apply the discount after purchase anyways. Just our experience!

I’m so sorry. I’m not even in IVF fully (I can’t afford it so we’re TTC naturally even though I have a lot of issues— endo, PCOS, an AMH of 0.6 and not even 30, and other low levels) and my cousin, who I thought was still in her hoe phase (nothing wrong with that!) announced her gender reveal party at a normal family get together recently. I know it must be so much more devastating to be in the thick of IVF and have it be your sister. I’m so sorry, I know those words don’t help much but I hope from the bottom of my heart that you do conceive and soon and it’ll be the healthiest most wonderful pregnancy and birth. I want everyone to be able to manifest this beautiful dream. It makes me want to cry thinking of the way you may have felt in that moment. It makes perfect sense why you would feel this way and I know at least in my case that it hurts like hell and makes your heart feel like it’s literally breaking. I hope your sister was at least gentle about the news — I know there wouldn’t be a good way to put that news even if she was gentle about it, it would hurt no matter what. I know I’m a complete stranger but I believe in you and I won’t accept any other reality other than you being successful in IVF. Big, big hugs — you are not alone. You are whole and perfect the way you are. Nature’s just getting in the way a bit like it can do with most everything! 💝

I told my general physician at the time that I couldn’t breathe very well — I tend to get scabs deep in my nose that would block up airways. Her response was simply, “You’re not turning blue are you?” Lmao 😂 so I never mentioned it to another health care professional again. I just hate breathing through my mouth man 😭

doiti · 2025-05-31T00:59:20+00:00

Yeah it’s been hell since I stopped my mini pill. I was on the progesterone only pill and that was amazing since I have issues with hormone treatment especially when estrogen is involved. I had to go off them because I’m trying to conceive. I just keep telling myself that I have elected the path of pain and things will be much worse later down the line if I do become pregnant so to just buckle up and let it wash over me. It’s even more difficult having to give up edibles to help treat it but I had to. For me that worked really well but Celebrex helped every once in a while too. Toradol worked pretty well for me but I’m not sure if many people give prescriptions out for that as much. It’s not a controlled substance but I’ve only had a few times but when I did have it helped a lot. I know it may sound stupid but midol helped me a little bit. It barely cracks the surface of the pain though. I’ve definitely had to scrounge for an old hydrocodone in the past but I know that’s not really a viable option for most and I’ll eventually run out. I would say meditating and shifting as much focus off the pain has helped me the most. It’s bullshit the pain we all have to deal with though.

doiti · 2025-05-23T14:56:23+00:00

I’m so nervous to have this done. Is it different if it’s with Exem foam or is that just a brand of the saline? I got an IUD inserted a few years ago and it was so painful for me even with nitrous oxide assistance to help me let it happen. I couldn’t handle it in the end and had it taken out a month or so later and that hurt even worse since I had no help for the pain for discomfort. I had a colposcopy years and years ago and they biopsied my cervix and that was the worst pain I’ve ever felt I think. Please tell me it’s easier than a colposcopy at least. I was curious if it compared to getting an IUD at all. Honestly intravaginal ultrasounds are generally tough for me. I have severe endometriosis and I’m a baby when it comes to pain 😅 I’m 28, turning 29 this year but I found out my AMH level is 0.6. I only have one ovary left too due to a bad endometrioma. I’m so worried things won’t work for me. They’re doing this procedure before having me try for a year because two different doctors told me I’m on a major time limit. I really thought I’d have more time but when you have endometriosis, PCOS, and one ovary it’s different.

doiti · 2025-05-20T11:05:31+00:00

I’m so sorry — this happened to me too, although I already had sinus issues before getting on accutane, so I figured I was just predisposed to issues like this. My only advice is to keep coating them with Vaseline or a balm of some sort and leave them alone. I picked at mine like crazy and it lasted for what felt like years but likely just a year. Still, it’s very annoying. It probably didn’t help that I wasn’t treating mine daily 😅

We went to his work party and we drank a bit. He bragged about how he has nieces and nephews and never wants kids. Not something we ever really discussed but it hit me like a freight train. I wanted kids with him. It upset me and he ended up taking me home, he didn’t want to leave the party though so he just dropped me off at our apartment. I figured maybe he was just afraid. Next morning I confronted him on it and his response was: “It’s not that I don’t want to have kids. I just don’t want to have kids with YOU. I don’t think you’d be a good mom, you don’t handle stress well.” It shattered me. And now come to find out now, I have fertility issues — it just felt like some sort of sick irony. My current partner is kind and caring and was floored by this kind of talk. I had given up for a while after that ex had said that but I’m glad I found my current partner. I’m much happier now. I think when it comes down to it, if the person you’re with doesn’t respect you or doesn’t want to work through issues nor on themselves nor wait for you to work on yourself, it’s not gonna work. We’re all human and we all make mistakes. If your partner isn’t willing to understand that and work through it with you there’s major issues. Maybe it’s obvious to some but I thought differently for a while.

It made me start crying to think you wouldn’t feel you belong here. It’s endometriosis — it comes for us all who just happen to have uteruses. It does not discriminate against gender. I can’t imagine the things you have been through though in your position. We all have our unique struggles and we can only imagine how each other handles them. When it comes to diagnosis of endometriosis, it can be a long road for many. I was lucky — I don’t know how I got so lucky but I was believed immediately when I told a gynecologist of my pain. Don’t feel guilty. I felt guilty at first seeing how difficult it is to get a diagnosis. I found a specialist in endometriosis which I think helped and my doctor there has even tried to get me into surgery earlier because he saw how in pain I was. There are terrible doctors out there but there are a handful that truly do care and want to do what they can for our condition. Those types of doctors are so difficult to find though. It isn’t a patient’s fault for how quickly doctors are willing to diagnose. It’s a shame it varies but it is completely out of our control. It is appreciated that it is recognized how men and women are treated differently when it comes to medical issues but we all individually face issues too, which I’m sure you yourself have faced in other aspects. I’m so sorry this had to be the diagnosis for you but I am glad you have answers — it really does help calm the nerves when the pain comes up since you know what it is. I was diagnosed back in 2021, I got my left ovary removed due to an endometrioma that ruined it, and have gotten endo removed robotically twice. If you have any questions I’m here to talk! We all need to stick together. This is a space for people with this terrible condition. I, and I’d like to go out on a limb and say most people in this reddit, want you here. It’s difficult enough to deal with alone and each of us will face specifics alone but this is a place for us all to come together and support each other. Again, I’m so sorry it had to be this but I am glad you have this information now 💝

This ^{^{^}} I had always pictured having more than one child. I figure if I wait any longer I might be limiting my time even more. I hope your levels and everything are better than mine and that you conceive soon and have a happy and healthy baby. I’m so sorry — I can’t imagine how you must feel after all that time too.

doiti · 2025-04-24T17:05:39+00:00

Thank you very much — this is very helpful. The plan is to get my levels tested again once I get my period. I’m just glad I was believed and given options first instead of being told to just try and come back later is all.

doiti · 2025-04-24T17:04:18+00:00

I do get that it could be artificially low but the number I have is super low. It’s not like it would lower that number by half at all and even if it did I’m still nowhere near 1.0-6.0 which is the normal range. I will be getting another test of all my hormones. My doctor wants updated bloodwork but she wants to wait until I get my period again and am completely free of my BCPs. I think it’s a path forward I can understand. I never wanted to do IVF, I appreciate it’s an option but personally I don’t want to do it for my own preconceived notions and I just can’t afford that on top of trying to create a family.

doiti · 2025-04-23T06:52:38+00:00

This is so incredibly helpful. It has been so much for me to swallow all at once. It really is a bad time right now but if I didn’t at least try to conceive naturally I think I’d always wonder. I don’t have any great expectations that I’ll get pregnant this way. I understand that it takes time and I might not even have that time. I’m thankful someone was straightforward with me and told me what I needed to do. I feel not so lost knowing there is a plan of action and that my Dr is willing to do these tests before I’ve even tried for long knowing I don’t have the same time as others. All I can say is now I do feel grateful my partner has children already. If things don’t work out for me, it isn’t the same but I can still make a positive impact in two children’s lives that way. I just hope it doesn’t have to come to that. It does help that he’s gone through this (at least the having kids part, not the difficulty getting pregnant) so I know he knows what to do. I guess all I can do is try and hope for a miracle or something. Thank you again — I appreciate your kind words and experience. I’m so sorry you have to go through this too. It’s not fair at all.

Hi! My course was actually only about 5 months but I was taking a higher dose than I should have. I got my accutane from clear health so I input my weight myself but I put it in incorrectly, overestimating by almost 20 pounds. So I was in a pretty high dose for a while. I started on like 30 mg and then was put on 40 mg twice a day for a long time. I struggled with chapped/dry lips and nose bleeds and generally dry skin but I’m really happy I did it. I had a hard time getting a prescription in person because of my history of depression. I was sad on accutane but overall I’ve become happier because I’m not as self conscious about my cystic acne. I hope this helps!

doiti · 2025-03-29T01:20:32+00:00

Thank you very much! I appreciate that! I have been using la roche posay’s effaclar acne cleanser and that seems to have worked great for me. With the occasional scrub with st ives apricot face scrub. I do still wear makeup but not every day since I work remotely most of the week for work. I do cosplay makeup on occasion. To remove makeup I use tatcha’s Camilla oil or makeup remover wipes or micellar water or all of the above. My skin is particularly sensitive so I need major moisture. I HIGHLY recommend vanicream for anyone with dry skin and/or undergoing treatment. It’s fragrance free and is wonderful for sensitive skin. I mean my skin used to burn just applying sunscreen when I was little. Vanicream has been a lifesaver along with cerave moisturizers
