| 5 | Osteoarthritis of the hip | 15 mg was too strong..got upset stomach ... 7.5 works very well for my hip and knee pain..while I wait for a hip replacement | 75 | 0 days 7.5 1X day | 6/1/2023 | 3 | Sprained ankle | Mood swings depression, Outburst comments that you never would say diarrhoea | I'm about to lose my job because of this medication because the mood swings and outburst of a comment that I would never say. | 43 | 2 months 1X day | 3/27/2021 | 1 | Back oain | I have horrible nausea,muscle pain | 50 | 1 days 7.5 | 1/3/2018 | 1 | Mobic Linked to Stevens Johnson Syndrome | | 6/30/2006 | 5 | Osteoarthritis / Fibromyalgia | I've not experienced any side effects from taking Mobic. | Just a few days after starting Mobic, I could tell an immediate improvement in my pain. I have been on Prevacid since being on Mobic; my doctor said taking the Prevacid along with the Mobic probably has helped me to not have any issues with stomach since Mobic causes stomach trouble in some people. | F | 46 | 2 years | 7/14/2006 | 5 | arthritis | Absolutely no side effects. Has significally reduced the arthritis pain in my hands. Also, helps all the other aches and pains. | I only take 1 pill a day with a glass of milk. Never have had an upset stomach. | F | 40 | 1.5 years | 11/13/2004 | 5 | didn't have any side effects. and the swelling in my ankles went down after I stopped taking Vioxx | F | 56 | 2 times | 3/2/2004 | 5 | Osteoarthritis in my neck. | This medication has given me my life back. before taking this medication, I was experiencing severe neck pain and headaches, to the point of considering narcotics and antidepressants. My Dr suggested I give this a try, once a day in the a.m., and I had instant relief in one day. I have accidentally missed a dose a few times, and I could definitely tell the difference. I don't seem to have any noted side effects, other than a slight runny nose, but that might be caused by our smoke filled city (fires). I am not tired, or nauseated or constipated or anything, which is great! I can't wait to see how it is going to effect me this winter., as I have been dreading the cold weather. | F | 49 | 30 days 15 mg 1X day | 9/3/2012 | 5 | knee pain | minor stomach twinges at times but very negligent | Has helped a lot w/knee pain (cartilage degen. and arthritis)......in fact has made me much more mobile. Very happy with results of this drug. | F | 59 | 1 months 7.5 mg 2X day | 9/18/2012 | 5 | for knee pain | No side effects. | I usually only take this twice a week, but if I'm walking a lot I take it daily. Meloxicam (mobic) enabled me to be able to take a 2 week trip to Italy with no knee pain. I also noticed that my back didn't hurt either. I have a lot of arthritis and I don't think I could've done this active trip to Italy without meloxicam. At home when I walk half an hour a day I only take meloxicam twice a week because the literature says it can increase a person's risk for heart attack or stroke. | F | 54 | 6 months 15 MG 1X day | 10/5/2013 | 5 | Osteoarthritis | If I take Mobic every day, I end up with Hyponatremia . | Mobic has been great for me, I take it twice a week, and I have little or no pain. | F | 60 | 5 years 15 2X W | 10/6/2013 | 5 | Osteoarthritis | Effective. No side effects after many side effects with other drugs. | F | 64 | 6 months | 5/30/2005 | 5 | Two Herniated Discs in my Back | Aside from a 'slight' belly ache from time to time, I have NO side effects from this medication! | I went from crawling on the floor CRYING to barely any pain at all! My doctor started me with a COCKTAIL of pain killers, so it took me a few months to weed everything out and just end up with Mobic. I can't claim that this drug will work for everybody, but I would recommend that anyone with back problems at least TRY it! It has practically no side effects and I've taken it every day for practically a year. It's definitely my miracle drug, plus it has to be one of the cheapest drugs on the market... I only pay $4 for a 30 day supply! My only worry is that I'll have to take it forever... if I miss a few days I definitely feel the pain, so I know somewhere down the road I'll STILL need to have an operation. Until then, Mobic works for me!!! | F | 34 | 1 years | 1/11/2008 | 5 | buldging disks in neck& headaches | sleepy at first, so I take at night. Achy in back for a few days. Blood in urine for 1 day and went away-- rare side effect. | Muscle spasm in neck caused bulging disks and extreme headaches that vicodin didn't knock out. Mobic works great. It took care of terrible headaches that I had for 1 1/2 months... It was a life saver. | F | 41 | 2 weeks | 2/22/2008 | 5 | pseudogout, chronic joint pain | none if taken with food | I take the lowest dose (7.5mg). Due to GERD, need to take it with food but sometimes need to increase Prevacid due to stomach pain. Dr has me on a 1x/day, 3 weeks on, 1 week off regime due to concerns about heart risks. I noticed it takes a few days on Mobic for me to feel better. Really helps my knees. Glad it's in my "arsenal"; I usually am very sensitive to meds but this one works for me. | F | 50 | 2 years | 11/4/2008 | 5 | Arthritis | None | I love this medicine- minus the potential for stomach bleeding. I have severe arthritis in my back. If I do not take mobic than I cannont move and am stiff. | F | 25 | 4 months | 1/6/2009 | 5 | arthritis of the knees | none | Unlike Celebrex, which gave me swollen ankles, I have had no side effects from Mobic, and it actually gave me more relief. | F | 53 | 4 years | 4/7/2009 | 5 | Arthritis | NONE | I can not move a single joint on rainy days without this! I take 7.5 mg daily, unless it rains...then I take the full 15 mg. | F | 37 | 11 months | 6/12/2009 | 5 | Symptoms associated with hashimotos | Slight stuffy/runny nose. | This drug changed my life! I've been suffering with inflammation pain in my entire body, including IBS, fibromyalgia, arthritis, and lower back pain for nearly 10 years. I thought chronic pain was going to be my lot for the rest of my life. The first day into taking Mobic, I felt so much relief, I could get up and do things I used to do: walk my dog, cook without needing to sit on a bar stool, and rake leaves! I thought I was doomed to feeling 80, but I feel about 40 again--and I'm 62. And it's on the $4 list as well. Win/win! Mobic gave me back my life after four years of feeling like a semi-invalid. | F | 62 | 2 weeks 15 1X day | 1/15/2014 | 5 | fibromyalgia | Some diarrhea. Stomach distention. Bruising. Increased sleep quality. | The day after my first dose I had an upset stomach. I actually had an accident in my pants. I thought it was gas, but was sorely mistaken. The pain however was very much decreased. I cut back to 7.5 mg for 3 days and got less pain relief results. I started taking 15 mg again, and have had no diarrhea, and the only side effects I can tell is stomach distention which I can live with. I've also had some bruising. My sleep quality is unbelievably better. I have a sleep disorder, and insomnia has almost ruined my life. I am now getting 9 hours of sleep per night. I'm trying to see if I can cut that back to 8 hours because that's what my sleep disorder doctor has prescribed for me. I use the Sleep Cycle app, and according to it I have been getting better sleep quality. In the upper 90% which is incredible! I usually get 3 good nights of sleep staggered throughout the week. The pain is not completely gone, but I no longer have severe pain. I can put my shirt on and take it off with no pain. I can roll over at night with no pain. | F | 46 | 8 days 15 mg 1X day | 1/8/2015 |
