Anybody take Celebrex daily?

Have you noticed any side effects?  I’ve been taking it daily for almost a year with other NSAIDS for about a year before that and I’m trying to narrow down a few issues. Interested in others experiences and knowledge. Thanks a bunch.

Nsaids should not be taken daily for extended periods of time. There are tremendous side effects. Please consider alternatives

I took Celebrex (100 mg) daily for 4 years until I couldn't take the pain anymore and I had my ankle fused. When I stopped the celebrex two weeks before the ankle surgery I couldn't even walk....
I didn't notice any current or lasting side effects. If you have further questions ask away

Who told you be taking it daily? That can be irresponsible and dangerous. Extended periods of use can cause multiple serious side effects. From hearing loss to kidney injury, there are a lot of side effects.
Treat the underlying problem. Why are you taking it? Is it actually helping or is it just masking the issue?

Celebrex is a Cox-2 inhibitor which is much easier on your GI than other NSAIDS. The biggest long term risk is increased heart disease/attack so you need to add in other possible contributing factors to heart issues in making your decision for long term use.  

I think the up-shot here is...

Yer Gunna Die! Probably not from this - but for sure nonetheless.

No doubt on the history, however....... for a lot of us, it was really popularized on Supertopo by Locker.

I'm prescribed Celebrex by my rheumatologist for a genetic inflammatory disease and honestly, it's been working wonders. If I don't skip a pill, pain stays around a 1 which is waaay better than the 7 it would get to previously.  The pain stems from my spine so it was pretty debilitating. This is not a physical injury so unfortunately I'll be taking Celebrex until the side effects outweigh the would be pain. The next step would be an immunosuppressant with some very obvious side effects.

I'm taking Celebrex, as others have said, because it plays nicer with your body than other NSAIDS.  They admit they don't know if the disease continues to progress if you treat the inflammation thus the pain but I'm essentially pain free so big win there.

What I'm trying to narrow down is the source of my newfound skin issues, specifically, my skin seems to be getting weaker/thinner and takes twice as long to heal.  My doctor says steroidal anti-inflammatories have documented "skin thinning" side effects but as far as Celebrex is concerned it hasn't been documented. Her solution is to quit sticking my hands into cracks.  David.Jones, you said you took Celebrex daily for 4 years, did you notice anything similar?

I didn't really notice anything out of the ordinary ...and I do climb a lot of cracks in Squamish. I did/do use crack gloves and when I did/do get abrasions I would use a compeed bandages that speed up the healing significantly.

Side question. I keep hearing things about the carnivore diet for autoimmune disease.  Supposedly there is a study from Harvard. Ever tried it?

Excellent catch, Mark!

I've been using it daily for a few years and haven't noticed any problems.

An update:

I quit the Celebrex a while back and moved up to biologics injections and the skin improved within a few weeks.  I've since gone back to raw-doggin' Vedauwoo and the hands are holding up nicely which is great since it's my only superpower as a climber.

I took one pill once and gained 15lbs of water which I pissed out the next morning. Doc said never take it again, my kidneys are sensitive to it. I have no problem with ibuprofen which I use on occasion.
