Celebrex ? is it really that bad

[Guest guest]

I took celebrex for a couple of years for ra and the doctor now has

taken me off of the medication because he does not like the long term

risk factors for heart problems related to taking this medication.

Yet it helped and now I am in a lot of pain really bad pain and I

wanted to know is it really that bad that the risk is too much and now

the best health thing for me to do is not take it at all? Otherwise I

am 32 years old and am healthy in all other aspects besides the ra. I

just cant take all this pain and I cant sleep well I lay awake in pain

every night and it is not cool. Yet I do not want to develop heart

problems, which choice is best.
