Yes, the headaches are diminishing in that Advil finally helps but I'm still getting them, more than 1 week after stopping the Celebrex.

The bad news is that my leg is beginning to pull and ache. I'm guessing it just took a few days for my body to rid itself of the Celebrex. Right now, even though I'm experiencing more discomfort, not exactly pain, than I'd like, I really prefer not taking the Celebrex and am leaning toward putting up with whatever I have to. However, if it gets any worse than right now, I'll have to reevaluate. The long term side effects are weighing in more than the pain.

Actually, I'm grateful that I have these problems because before my surgery, there was no life. I had no choices and now I do

Happy new year, Dale
