For Osteoarthritis "I have been taking Mobic for knee pain for 2 weeks. Within the first week, I noticed fluid on my ankles and lower legs. Then three days ago, I started getting itchy welts on my breast, chest, stomach, arms, and legs. They look very similar to bed bug bites or flea bites, and I know without a doubt I do not have either one. Yes, it did wonders for my knee pain, I was able to go to the gym and stand for a long time with no problem. I've now stopped the med because I would rather deal with my knee pain than the side effects, as they are worse than the pain. I am looking to see how long it will take for the welts to stop and go away, the itching is unbearable!!! I have taken Benadryl and used Cortizone cream. I will be calling my doc in the morning. My overall opinion for this med is not to take it because of the side effects. I truly hope this helps someone that is having these side effects!"

For Osteoarthritis "I am 43 years old. I have arthritis, lower back pain caused by facet joint at L5-S1, and scoliosis. The pain started around 2 weeks ago, but the first time I felt this type of pain was 3 years ago. All these years I was fine, and suddenly 2 weeks ago it came back. Every morning, I wake up and have pain in my lower back. I also feel pain as I turn sides in my sleep. My doctor prescribed Mobic 15 mg. He told me to take it for 1 month. Yesterday, I bought it and took it late before I went to sleep. I also ate something as they told me to take it after my meal. I woke up in the morning and I was thinking, where is the pain I have every morning? I was moving around thinking this is really weird. All day, I haven’t had any pain so far. I feel fantastic, and I have only taken 1 tablet. It is crazy but true."

For Inflammatory Conditions "I have Cervical Arterial Disease, and the pain radiates in my neck, shoulders, arms, and hands. Sometimes it gives me bad headaches as well, mostly on the left side of my head. Mobic is a lifesaver for me. I had this medication for a while, but I refused to take it because reading about the side effects scared me. However, after over-the-counter medications quit helping me with the pain, I went ahead and started Mobic, and this is the best I've felt in months. I haven't had any side effects yet, but I've only been on it for about a week. I'll continue to take it for now, because at least I'm not miserable. Living with chronic pain is no joke."

For Osteoarthritis "Severe osteoarthritis of the left knee and I'm up on my feet a lot so the pain was unbearable. I was taking Vicodin 4 times a day, 2 Aleve, and had absolutely NO relief from pain. Started Mobic 7.5 mg on Wednesday and by Sunday I could walk/sleep and had NO pain! So any surgery needed can now wait! No side effects as of now, but I plan on decreasing to every other day and definitely take it with a meal."

For Inflammatory Conditions "Mobic - the miracle pill. I have had chronic pain in my right knee for the last 6 months or so. It was getting worse by the day. I have now been taking Mobic 15mg for two days, and I have no pain at all. I have read that there can be some nasty side effects, but at the moment, I really don't care. I can walk pain-free again."

For Osteoarthritis "About ten months ago, I began experiencing a lot of pain in my arms and joints, including my knees. Thinking that I had caught a virus (not Covid), I finally went to the doctor who prescribed Mobic. I am in my 70s and have osteoarthritis in most joints. In fact, I had bilateral hip replacements seven years ago due to OA, also, both of my parents and grandmother suffered quite a lot from arthritis. My mother told me that it 'moved around'. And just when you think the pain is going, it hits another part of your body. Even my muscles were aching. Now, several months later, after taking just one box of Mobic, I am pretty much pain-free. I hope it continues but I'll wait a few weeks to see. If not, I'll go back to the doctor. I took just one 7.5mg tablet per day."

For Inflammatory Conditions "I'm 35 and began suddenly having severe joint pain & stiffness & fatigue for the last 6 months only worsening with each day, to the point of it affecting my daily life. So this week I finally went to the doctors & was given Mobic 7.5mg script and could not believe it but within 30 minutes of taking my first pill I felt like a different person. No joint pain & no side effects other than the freedom to move without my joints hurting. I would recommend this to anyone suffering from joint pain or stiffness and to think this was all caused from a thyroid disease I was unaware of."

For Osteoarthritis "I have osteoarthritis in my right knee, fingers, foot, and ankle. I was also diagnosed with a 5th metatarsal stress fracture. Apparently, I had the stress fracture for at least a year but thought it was arthritis. I was prescribed 15 mg of Mobic daily by a podiatrist for the stress fracture. Within 1 hour of taking it, the pain was almost gone. I had been taking 600-1200 mg of ibuprofen on a bad day of flares, sometimes having to take naproxen instead. Mobic allows me restful sleep but it does make me drowsy... I need 10 hours of sleep to recover. However, I can take it every other day and it still works on both sharp and dull pain. This is the only NSAID that has worked this well for me, and I have taken them all for the past 10 years."

For Tendonitis "Despite being told to slow down with the physical labor four months ago, when both rotator cuffs started to hurt, I was able to work myself into two frozen shoulders and tendonitis, hence the nickname. Not a big fan of pharmaceuticals, Mobic is changing my mind. Starting taking it yesterday and for the first time in days I was able to sleep without waking up in pain. Can now move shoulders and pain has been greatly reduced."

For Osteoarthritis "I have arthritis in my neck from C4 to C6 plus severe TMJ. I suffered with constant pain in my neck and jaw joints during the past year. My doctor prescribed Mobic and within 3 days the pain and swelling in my neck and jaws disappeared. It was almost like a miracle. Tried every over-the-counter anti-inflammatory with no luck. I have had no stomach pain so far, just welcomed relief. I can now work my entire shift with no pain."

For Rheumatoid Arthritis "Was on Voltaren for months. Maybe my body got used to it and maybe it will also get used to this, but this is a miracle. I had 9 places with pain. After I pop this pill (15mg), I feel great within an hour and even more amazing throughout the day and into the night. Probably a good 12 hrs of relief. I got to find a way to eat in the morning and take it. Currently, I'm taking it with a big lunch but miserable in the morning after it wears off from the day before and before I take it that day. This makes me feel normal. Especially my fingers."

For Inflammatory Conditions "I started taking Mobic for my plantar fasciitis a week ago. I have had the medicine for 6 months for my back, shoulder, and neck pain but it did not help me. When my foot started crippling me, I took it with Skelaxin and was amazed at how quickly the pain, all my pain, disappeared. I suffer from fibromyalgia as well. Today, my body was fine but my heel was killing me. I took the Mobic and I was relieved of pain within 20 to 30 mins. Mobic allowed me to walk again. Mobic with Skelaxin gave me my life back. I'm 48 so I expect pain and problems but when you hurt from your rooter to your tooter all seems hopeless. This medicine helped me tremendously. I'm more excited that I don't have to take narcotics daily."

For Osteoarthritis "I am 33 years old and have had debilitating lower back pain for over 5 years. Some days I cannot walk. One week ago, my doctor started me on Mobic, and I cannot believe the immediate relief. I have not had this little pain in years. I'm so excited. I'm very saddened to see the long-term downfalls. I'm so glad to have it though. Wish I had it years ago."

For Osteoarthritis "I have been using Mobic every other day for a week now, and my pain is almost diminished. My fingers don't hurt as bad, and I can make a full fist without hurting. The pain in my upper legs is gone, and I can move once again like I am 30. I am 63! The side effects worry me some, so that is why I do not take it every day."

For Rheumatoid Arthritis "I had been on Relafen for years for my osteoarthritis, and I just discovered this summer that I have rheumatoid arthritis. I was still on the Relafen and had driven a long way to see one of my doctors, and the RA was so bad in my knees and feet that it was becoming difficult to walk. I called my orthopedic surgeon, and they changed my NSAID from Relafen to Mobic, and within an hour of taking the Mobic, I had relief. What a difference it has made for me! It made such a difference with the inflammation in my joints, and made it easier for me to walk. After taking the Mobic for a few days, I had improved greatly. I have had no stomach or intestinal issues from the medication."

For Osteoarthritis "I only have half the cartilage in both knees due to osteoarthritis and had taken 800mg of Advil 3 times a day for 10 years. I've been taking Mobic 15mg for 2 years, which provides very good pain relief with one pill a day. Sometimes I have pain in the evening for which I take 2 Tylenol. Mobic seems to be much easier on my stomach."

For Tendonitis "I have had knee problems for the last 10 years of my life, and I've tried so many types of physical therapy and medications throughout those years. Nothing has worked better than Mobic. I can't take a lot of medicines like ibuprofen because I have severe stomach issues, and Mobic is great on my tummy. Thanks for giving me my life back."

For Osteoarthritis "Taking Mobic 7.5 mg once a day for OA. It is really helping the inflammation and pain. I had to take a Medrol dose pack first for the flare, and it worked amazingly! Now on Mobic. It’s controlling my OA so far."

For Osteoarthritis "I was also taking Vioxx, then was switched to Celebrex, which did not work for me. One Mobic provides me the relief I need on most days. Biggest side effect is constipation, but flaxseed oil plus stool softeners help with this. I have been taking Mobic for 8 years."

For Osteoarthritis "I have had knee pain for many years, and after 2 operations, it got worse. Sleeping was a problem with severe sharp pain. A new doctor recommended to me, found I had severe arthritis after an MRI and put me on Mobic and wow! Why had no doctor ever prescribed this before? Pain relief within the week was amazing, and my sore back improved also. I have a new life and no side effects to date, and I have been taking it for 10 months. I'm 50 and feeling 40 again instead of 70."

For Fibromyalgia "This is amazing. I have suffered constant and varying levels of pain for over half my life (20 years). I have just started taking Mobic a week ago and am basically pain-free. I can exercise for much longer periods with more intensity and do not suffer any pain."

For Osteoarthritis "Was prescribed 15mg once a day. It helped to reduce pain a bit so now I can walk but still can't walk for a prolonged time (i.e. 15 mins or so). Unfortunately after 8 days of having it, my stomach can't tolerate it anymore..."

For Osteoarthritis "Pain in neck, shoulders, hips, hands, and knees gone within a day! I can ride in a car, and I'm sleeping without waking every hour. It's been a miracle for me. No side effects. I'm terrified I may have to give this up due to stomach issues. I can't go back to the pain. I feel fabulous after years of misery."
