Is Taking Celebrex Advisable Instead Of Tramadol For Arthritic Back Pain?
I have been using ibuprophen for 15 years to control arthritic back pain. I recently was given tramadol as a supplement. In my last visit to the doctor (pain clinic) I was given celebrex and told to discontinue ibuprophen.. My pain has been terrible since that appt. Is there a lag time for the body to adjust to and recognize a new medication?

Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your diagnosed condition of arthritis following current usage of tramadol and cerebrex to replace ibuprofen I am suggesting that you follow your physician prescription you are definitely in order
Concerning the severity of your pain definitely the pain will respond rapidly with the cerebrex reason it is very efficient and has increased bioavailabilty
I hope this helps
