Pubali,

Just for a measure of clarification, celebrex is not a pain killer, it's in the COX-2 family of anti-inflamatories. While you may derive some indirect pain relief from a potential reduction in swelling, this medication's goal is simply to reduce inflamed tissue/etc. Just didn't want you to have the wrong impression about what it is/isn't suppose to do.... :-)
