I worked as a geriatric nursing asst., working many double shifts, doing a lot of heavy lifting, on my feet for 18-20 hrs. at a time. Suffered from knee and shoulder pain due to osteoarthritis; also, heel spurs, plantar fasciitis, and bunions. LOTS of pain, daily. I was eating OTC ibuprofen like it was candy, with little to no relief. Mobic has been a Godsend! I now function with minimal disc...
I started 2 months ago and have noticed improvement. I have had some side effects, I can tolerate the tiredness,stiff neck for the relief I get from it. I am on a water pill as well so this might be part of the problem of urgent bladder suddenly appearing. Thirsty a lot as well.

after experiecning lower pack pain for several months, several trips to the doctor resulted in several different attempts to stop the pain with NSAIDS. hours after the first dose of MOBIC the pain subsided and after a few days it was nearly non existant. only advice i can give is dont let you prescription run out. i noticed after not taking the drug for a day and a half, the pain gradually returned.

I injured my knee and could hardly walk or climb stairs. My knee was amazingly better only hours after taking this medicine.

I take this medication for pain and swelling in my foot from stress fractures. It has been minimally helpful for the pain but has helped the swelling significantly.

I have been so thankful for this drug. This past summer, I was having so much pain in my feet and lower back due to arthritis. I am really pleased!

I had constant knee pain for almost 10 years, this pill got rid of the pain. Darvocet and other pain killers didn't touch my pain. This works better if I take it every day and at night.

Drug worked great for my lower back pain for about a month. Appearantly my body got immunune to the pain relieving effects and didn't do much for me at all after taking it regularly.

Mobic has worked wonders for me. I work as a manager in a restaurant/coffee shop and I do alot of physical lifting. My body finally had enough and the joints in my arms became very painful nothing over the counter seemed too help,so I went to the doctor and he prescibed Mobie. I was patient enough too wait for its effect but after a couple of days it kicked in. I still have to be careful and pace myself but now I don't have too worry about finding another job.

I feel that this medication contributed to my strokes that I have had. I am way to young to have had 3 strokes.
