What should I expect from my new medication Celebrex?
I have been prescribed Celebrex for my knee pain but I have yet to pick it up. I had some questions about it. First is it something that works minutes after taken like a pain pill or do you have to taken for a few days before it works. Second does it help alot? Also is it more like a pain pill or ibuprofen. And what are some side effects. I have been put on pain pills before and am not very keen on taking them but I like how well they help my knee. Is this a much better alternative and does it work just about the same?

It's an NSAID, much like ibuprofen, Relafen, etc. One big difference. It's much less likely to cause stomach problems.
Like NSAIDS, it can help within an hour or so, but the pain relief can improve over time.
Will it work for you? No way to tell, except trying it. You could ask if your doc has a sample pack to see, before you buy the Rx.
