I looked up Celebrex, and I'm pretty sure it's the anti-inflammatory my doc said wasn't a good fit for me - the serious side-effects include potentially serious risks for those who've had gastric problems with other NSAIDs, and the risk of complications for anyone with cardio-vascular risk factors - all of which I have. Having read the Wiki details, I'm glad he considered it and decided not to. Thanks for the idea though
