I'm a dear friend of Celebrex due to my degenerative disc disease and arthritis. My surgeon and NP kept me off of it for six weeks post L-S fusion.

My doctor wants me to take Celebrex for the pain. I used to take it many years ago but when the Cancer scare by using Celebrex came out, I stopped taking it and have not since then. I wonder if I should take it for pain now. Is it safe? Cancer causing? Any thoughts?
