"i have been on celebrex for a long long time.  i stopped taking it because i was pain free/symptom free maybe 6 weeks ago.  i started to have pain again maybe 2 weeks after stopping it.  i attributed it to my exercise routine, wrong shoes etc.  i used ice to alleviate the symptoms.  i didn&#039;t think of it until today that my increased pain was due to stopping the celebrex.  i&#039;ve reordered it and will start again today."
