Author: Selective inhibitors of cyclooxygenase type 2 do not exert negative effects on cartilage and some of them like Celebrex (Celecoxib) contributes to increase of glycosaminoglycans synthesis as well possess a positive influence on the course of the knee joints osteoasthrosis. 2-years placebo controlled trial proved a high effectiveness of Celebrex in management of pain, stiffness and inflammation. The effects of Celebrex are comparable with glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate or their combination. Since cyclooxygenase is involved in the activation of osteoclasts, selective inhibitors of cyclooxygenase type 2 belongs to a first line treatment of patients with osteoporosis or with a risk factor for osteoporosis development.
In spite of its advantages, Celebrex may have some negative effects. Like other NSAID medication, Celebrex could increase the chance of having a heart attack or stroke, possibly resulting in death. The risk is greater if you have heart disease or use NSAIDs for a long time. It’s important to discuss the risks and benefits of using Celebrex with your doctor and to use the lowest effective dose for the shortest amount of time possible.
Although Celebrex is easy on the stomach, it still poses some degree of risk-especially if you’ve had a stomach ulcer or gastrointestinal bleeding in the past. All NSAIDs, including Celebrex, can cause serious-and even life-threatening-ulcers and bleeding in the stomach and intestines. These side effects can happen without symptoms and may occur at any time during treatment. If you’ve ever had ulcers or stomach bleeding, make sure the doctor is aware of it. And be sure to alert the doctor if you develop any digestive problems or notice a change in your bowel movement (such as blood in the stool or black, sticky stools).

Waiting for a baby to be born must be one of the most frustrating things that anyone goes through! I am now 33 weeks pregnant and I feel like if it doesn’t come soon I am going to go mad! To think that I have been carrying this child around in my womb for nearly eight calendar months is just amazing to me, and I feel like I just can’t wait any longer!
I have even started to almost wish that the baby would be born slightly premature! Not so much that it would put the baby in any danger, but a couple of weeks early would be just fine by me! All joking aside, pregnancy is a difficult thing to go through and it is very tiring. I have reached the stage now where anything is difficult for me to do. Even getting up off the settee takes a monumental effort, and I feel totally useless. My boyfriend keeps saying how excited he is that it is so near now, but he doesn’t understand, that to me, a month or two is not anywhere near enough!
I know that I should be patient though. I have got the most precious cargo inside of me, and I need to allow it to fully ripen! I know that as soon as my child is born I will be willing to do anything for it, so the least I can do is wait patiently for a few weeks for its arrival!
