No, but you may want to try a new physician. Your wife should have a better understanding of the how's and why's of her symtpoms, which are usually/generally associated with chronic arthritis and the treatment thereof. Switching Vioxx for Celebrex is (IMHO) just about stupid unless the patient has been fully advised of the potential side effects of Celebrex and advised of the low risks (GI complaints) of taking the #1 effective treatment, good old aspirin (enteric coated, preferred).
