It seems to be better. At least it's not as bothersome as it was when I posted. I do try to move more during the day - just get up from my desk and walk up and down the stairs more than I used to. I'm still exercising but not running as much as I was a year ago, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it.View Thread
Thanks for your reply. I realized my symptoms coincided with my taking Celebrex for an arthritic left shoulder. I also have started gaining weight for no reason -- in fact, I have been trying to lose weight and increase my exercise. The weight gain alarmed me. When I tried to tie all these symptoms to something recent (i.e. a change), I realized the Celebrex was something new. I had taken it for a month late last year then started again in May of this year when my insurance company approved it again. On a whim I looked up potential side effects, all of which I have: unexplained weight gain, swelling in the lower legs, thirst, dry mouth, hunger, stomach pain, gas et al. I talked to my PCP and he agreed it's worth a try to go off the Celebrex to see if my symptoms subside. I sure hope so!View Thread
