| 5 | Undifferentiated connective tissue | Recently developed hypertension, abnormal kidney function tests, shortness of breath. | I have been doing well for years on this drug & it has been a wonder drug for me but I am beginning to develop some what I think are cumulative side effects. | F | 71 | 13 years 7.5 mg | 8/16/2017 | 5 | Osteoarthristis | NONE | I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A SPOKESPERSON FOR THIS PRODUCT I FULLY BELIEVE IT IS FANTASTIC. HAS BEEN SO GOOD FOR ME . TODAY I JUST TURNED 80 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE NO ACHES OR PAIN. DOES NOT UPSET MY STOMACH., LIKE PREVIOUS MED. DID. IS VERY GOOD FOR ME.. | F | 80 | 10 years 15 mg. 1X day | 5/1/2017 | 1 | osteoarthritis | Extreme swelling of feet and ankles. Have chills on a regular basis. Now in the process of finding out what other damage has occured. | I am the long term user that posted July '08. Unknown to me that was when all my problems began. I am now off of Mobic and plan to endure the pain until I can find a replacement. My liver emzymes became elevated, liver has become enlarged, spleen is enlarged. A liver biospy was scheduled and ended up being canceled due to such a low platelet count and a high bleeding time. Now I will have to go through platelet infusion hoping to bring the platelet count up enough to do this procedure. It was to my advantage that sop was to do the platelet count and a bleeding time or I could have bled to death. I firmly believe all of these stem back to long term Mobic usage. I was on it for at least 8 years I know. Yes it worked but now the side affects are killing me. I am hoping that all of this works out. I also hope that I can find something else for the constant pain. | F | 60 | 8 years | 2/9/2009 | 4 | osteoarthritis | I have no side effects other than it making me sleepy. I take at night and therefore get a better nights'sleep. | my arthritis has advanced to degenerative joint diease. I have had one knee replaced. I have been on all the anti-inflamatory drugs. Most were short lived as I built up a intolerance. Mobic has been long lasting for me and even the generic works well. I have to have my liver enzymes checked on a regular basis and are a little elevated now. You have to make a choice of the pain lever you will except and live with or take the medication. I would much rather be able to walk. | F | 59 | 7 years | 7/21/2008 | 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 | 4 | osteoarthritis | none | must have something in my stomach to avoid acid reflux (I eat 2 or 3 plain crackers) but it has helped considerably with the pain in my knees, back, shoulder (DJD) and hips (both have been replaced), take the generic and am very happy. Had tried tramadol which did nothing. | F | 59 | 5 years 15 mg 1X day | 4/30/2010 | 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 | 4 | menstrual cramps | Possibly tiredness. | It helps fairly well for my moderate menstrual cramps. Advil irritates my stomach over a period of time. Aleve makes me sick and dizzy. Mobic doesn't bother my stomach and I only need 2 in a 24 hr. period. I may take it for 2 days. | F | 49 | 4 years | 9/29/2008 | 5 | Knee osteoarthritis and TKRs | Only side effect in all these years has been disturbing dreams if take my dose at night so take it each morning. Dr does labs each year with no damage. | Just had knee replacements in October and November 2015. Continuing Mobic as I recover successfully. | F | 66 | 3 years 15mg | 3/12/2016 | 4 | Osteoarthritis (wrist, spine) | Worked well. But had significant hypertension appear. No prior hypertension, so may or may not be side-effect. No gastrointestinal problem and well tolerated. | M | 46 | 3 years 15mg | 5/7/2016 | 4 | psoriatic arthritis | No side effects for years, and then chronic diarrhea set in--got gradually worse and worse until I had to stop. Took about 4 months for digestion to return to normal. | Drug was wonderful at reducing pain, stiffness and inflammation, but eventually caused major GI problems. | F | 43 | 3 years 15 1X day | 7/15/2014 | 4 | psoriatic arthritis | stomach issues; gastritis, pre-ulcers; stomach pain, gnawing feeling; heartburn | I have been on and off this drug since I was 21. It has always provided me with great and almost immediate relief. That being said, when taken for a long, sustained period of time it has always caused me GI problems. Nothing ever serious enough to make me stop taking it; but just something to be aware of. Never EVER take this drug on an empty stomach and if possible take it at least 30 min. before lying down. But if you are careful, it provides great relief :) | F | 29 | 3 years 15 1X day | 4/20/2012 | 3 | hip pain | F | 57 | 3 years 15 1X day | 8/8/2010 | 3 | spinal cord swelling | Not sure also was taking Tramadol which caused major problems | F | 62 | 3 years | 11/18/2009 | 2 | lower back pain | None...till I ran out! | Felt NO RELIEF of pain while taking it. However, once I ran out, the pain was far worse it ever was before I started taking it. The doctor said, "Yup! That's how Mobic works." I've been on it for over 3 years now and am afraid to run out again. | M | 46 | 3 years 10 mg 1X day | 12/30/2010 | 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 | 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 | Taking mobic for hip and joint pain | Lightheaded at times when I first got on the medication then after being on it a while it went away and works very well on my arthritis pain and inflammation | Very very satisfied with this medication | F | 40 | 2 years 30mg 1X M | 7/9/2022 | 4 | osteoarthritis in hands | None. | One tablet taken in the morning with breakfast. Tried celebrex before, but it caused some gastro problems. No trouble with Mobic. Glad I can now get generic. | F | 57 | 2 years | 8/21/2007 | 4 | shoulder tendonitis/neck pain | Made me drowsy the first few times I took it, but not since then. | I have taken this medication for 3 years (since they cracked down on Vioxx use). While it is not nearly as effective as quickly as Vioxx was, the 15 mg tablet will make mild to moderate pain go away most of the time, and decrease severe pain to a not so noticeable degree. If they could come out with a slightly more effective dose it would be great, but for now it does its job well most of the time. During times when the Mobic alone doesn't quite do the trick I add on a Thermacare heating pad and I'm golden. | F | 42 | 2 years | 8/22/2007 |
