Celebrex

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Murrieta, CA

Can it be used to treat pain from chronic diseases? I have multiple sclerosis. My doctors suggested aleve until my liver started not doing well. Would this med be recommended for migraines or pain from muscle spasms?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member

This is an NSAID. It is very effective for pain control. However, it is not recommended for long term use. Its sister drug, Mobic, is what is recommended long term.

Hit A Wall

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Cape Town, ZA

Seems like a broad thing.. hitting a wall in terms of I don't know what to do or think anymore. Everything keeps getting harder, even pulling myself back up and staying motivated. Its hard to look forward to anything because I am scared of what pain I might have at that time? My thoughts and brain feel mushy from all the pain.. thoughts.. self talks.. bad sleep. How to keep going is a question that seems to be arising every morning these days

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Galax, VA

Just wanted to to try some cbd, hemp, delta 8 and see it it works. What brand? Do you eat it, smoke it or use it topically?
