Took it for nearly 6 years after my car wreck and shattered hip.Read a lot about long term side effects,a doctor buddy said it can beat up your kidneys pretty bad over time.I quit taking it about 2 months ago with no problems.But lately my hip is really acting up,went back to my walking cane today(bummer).Thinking about getting back on the Celebrex,but still have concerns.Any thoughts?
