Cheryl, The Celebrex only works while you are taking it and I felt better after the first pill. It helps my joints loosen up in the morning and I have a lot less joint and burning/shooting bone pain from Arimidex. I think you can take 200 mg twice or three times daily if needed. My 100 mg wears off by mid-afternoon. I believe there could be liver damage for some people taking larger doses. Check with your doctor.
