Can Celebrex be prescribed for osteoarthritis in the feet if there is a history of stroke in 2015 and splenectomy in 1970 (Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura)? The doctor in the emergency room prescribed it to me!

It is not recommended to prescribe Celebrex for arthritis if you have a history of stroke and splenectomy. Celebrex can increase the risk of thrombosis. It is important to weigh the potential benefits against the risks. It may be helpful to consult with a podiatrist and a rheumatologist for alternative treatment options.
