| 1 | Wound Healing | Serious nosebleed lasting 15 minutes | F | 51 | 14 days | 4/15/2009 | 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 | Pain in my foot from arthritis. | When I first took it (for a few days), I experienced strange feelings for 30 minutes to an hour. I felt a rush several times, but it did not reoccur after about a week of taking it. | It took about 2 weeks and the pain in my foot subsided and has almost gone away. Before I took this medicine I got to where I could only wear certain shoes as the pain became so severe that I could not walk. I took it for 30 days and it really helped me. I plan to take another series of doses to fend it off from coming back as I am going on a vacation where I will have to walk a great deal. I am very active physically and work out to stay in shape. I'm not sure I could have continued getting a lot of exercise without this medicine. | M | 70 | 30 days | 3/25/2009 | 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 | pinched nerve, carpal tunnel | Sleeplessness, dry mouth, constipation, weight gain/fluid | Mobic has been effective in helping keep down the worst symptoms of my carpal tunnel syndrome. I have carpal tunnel in both hands and a pinched nerve - which my physician refers to as a "double-crush" injury. Basically, he has told me I will likely be taking mobic for the rest of my life. I didn't think it was helping, and stopped taking it for about a week. I then realized just how much it was helping with the inflammation in my hands, particularly. So I started taking it again and will likely continue to take it. The side effects are helped by increased fluid intake, with the exception of the sleeplessness, for which I have not found a solution. | F | 47 | 10 months | 1/13/2009 | 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 | 1 | arthritis | Dizziness, LOUD ringing in ears, fatigue, felt like my heart was pounding heavily | Seems I have bad reactions to NSAIDs, even Motrin makes me a little dizzy. Was told to avoid NSAIDs in the future. | F | 32 | 1 times | 12/29/2008 | 3 | rhumatoid athritis | left shoulder pain, left earache, HORRIBLE canker sores in mouth | worked pretty well on the pain most of the time | F | 37 | 14 days | 11/14/2008 | 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 | 3 | whiplash | Nausea following dosage and for days afterward. | Not as effective as ibuprofin. | F | 34 | 7 days | 10/27/2008 | 2 | polyarthritis (idiopathic) | weight gain/edema | i was prescribed mobic as an alternative to plaquinil (which i stopped taking against the advice of my doctor due to risks to eye sight and headaches and the fact that it is for rheumatoid arthritis, but all rheumatoid tests were negative)...i was on mobic for about five months...but, in my opinion it didnt really seem to help...my joints still hurt bad enough that on some days i couldnt even hold a plate with one hand nor walk without pain...my doctors insisted it was 'working'...but i decided to discontinue it to see what happened (yes, i keep disobeying doctor's orders - sometimes you just need to take charge)...after i stopped the mobic, i lost 5 pounds in less than a week (that tells me i was really swollen)...i decided to go the naturopathic route instead and changed my diet and started taking supplements...since this change, my arthritis pain gradually got better and ive been almost completely pain-free for the past three months (after a YEAR of constant arthritis pain)...so, in | F | 28 | 5 months | 10/4/2008 | 3 | pectoria minor | pulled chest muscle, somewhat dulled the pain but bloating,and heartburn feeling all the time. | M | 45 | 2 weeks | 10/2/2008 | 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 | 3 | joint pain | slight muscle cramps in the legs and back | I can't tell a big difference in my joints, feels like I'm just taking Tylenol | F | 30 | 3 days | 9/24/2008 | 1 | Osteoarthritis | Ringing in ears for several hours, blurred vision, felt spacey, felt like ears were being boxed when I tried to rest | I seem to have had a bad reaction to this medication. It's probably uncommon but was so bad I can't take this medication again. Too bad b/c it knocked out 99% of my pain! Back to the drawing board.... | F | 32 | 1 days | 8/5/2008 | 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 | 1 | Frozen Shoulder | blood pressure spikes,racing pounding heartbeat,dizzy, felt like I could jump out of my skin! | I will NEVER take this again! It did not touch the pain. Blood pressure returned to low-normal 48 hours after I stopped taking it. Now I'm hyper-thyroid. Dr. says meloxicam did not cause this. I don't believe him. I'm now facing expensive treatment and meds to get this under control. | F | 50 | 14 days | 7/7/2008 | 3 | arthritis | dizzy, rapid heart beat, chest pain | mobic did reduce my pain to a very low level but the side effects where quite frightening | M | 45 | 2 days | 5/9/2008 | 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 | 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 |
