"after my two total hip replacements i still have chronic pain due to having avascular necrosis. i rely on celebrex to literally allow me to be able to walk. i received some samples in 2006 following my second surgery. my doctor at that time had enough samples so that i was taking them on a regular basis. only after a short period without them did we realize to what extent they were helping me. i sincerely believe that i could not live a normal life without the celebrex. it scares me to think that one day i may not be able to get it due to not being able to afford it. my co-pay is $60.00 for celebrex every month and it is hard to do. i tell anyone i can what celebrex has done for me, with absolutely no side effects."
