Teresa, I was having so much pain I could hardly walk. It was found out that I was bone on bone left hip. I reluctantly scheduled hip replacement surgery on Dec 20, 2017. Well Im almost 6 weeks out and the pain is almost totally gone. I still would like to be able to take Celebrex because I think it helps a bit. Good luck to you but I would encourage replacement. Hope that helps. You deserve to be able to walk without that excruciating pain. From my experience those injections do not work and they are usually done first because insurance wont pay for replacements until all avenues are exhausted. Do the research and find the best surgeon with the best record and get scheduled to be seen with them ASAP. Allmybest!! Dave

I have arthritis in my knees and also just had a hip replacement. I had a gastric sleeve 9/ 2016. Is it ok to stay on long term celebrex?
