Mobic (meloxicam) for Inflammatory Conditions: I have been taking Mobic (meloxicam) for 1 month. I had knee surgery in January 08 and could barely walk, the pain was so bad. After my Doctor started me on meloxicam I'm able to walk pretty much pain free. I tried to stop taking it and the pain returned within two day's. I love it - best thing I have taken.

meloxicam for Inflammatory Conditions: This is very helpful in treating my chronic inflammation. I can't move on rainy days without it! No side effects noticed. After finding out I had virtually no Vitamin D in my system and correcting that, I was able to reduce my dose from 15 mg to 7.5mg.

Mobic (meloxicam) for Osteoarthritis: I was taking between 4-6 ibuprofen a day and still had a lot of osteoarthritis pain. Once the Mobic was prescribed I felt a significant decrease in pain and can say have a new lease on life. Side effects have been minimal.

Mobic (meloxicam) for Rheumatoid Arthritis: I had so many problems walking holding stuff in my hand and I start taking this drug that I have never heard of, I started seeing a new doctor that's how I learned about it. It has helped me so much that I get teary eyed just thinking about it. The doctor that I am seeing now may have saved my life.

Mobic (meloxicam) for Osteoarthritis: I have been using Mobic to relieve the pain from my Spinal Fusion I had in March/2001. I was previously on Bextra that was discontinued. I find this medication to work just as good as Bextra did.

Mobic (meloxicam) for Inflammatory Conditions: I have been completely amazed at how fast and how completely Mobic took my pain away. I am now able to resume activities I had had to stop before taking it.

meloxicam for Inflammatory Conditions: Went to urgent care with chest pain, diagnosed with Costochronditis. Meloxicam 15mg once daily helped with pain, but only for about 8 hours. Splitting the dose led to less effective pain relief. Hasn't seemed to resolve Costochondritis. Went to ER, referred to chest specialist.
Mobic (meloxicam) for Inflammatory Conditions: I began using this medication to reduce sciatic nerve inflammation. It worked great for 9 hours and then the pain was back. Not strong enough for my needs, but again worked well for the first 9 hours.

Mobic (meloxicam) for Fibromyalgia: It worked okay for my back pains, but during the time that I first started taking it I got a really bad sore throat and if it wasn%u2019t for Mobic, I would not have been able to get out of bed. My throat felt so bad that I could hardly talk or eat and drink, but after taking the Mobic, it took the pain away for about 3 to 4 hours before I had to take another. Therefore, if you have a bad sore throat or any inflammatory conditions try Mobic to see if it helps.

Mobic (meloxicam) for Rheumatoid Arthritis: Mobic has been a good drug for all the basic inconveniences of arthritis. I was this close to going in for a knee replacement when my Geriatric Specialist offered Mobic. I take Pepcid with it as it is very hard on the stomach, but it has increased my mobility and reduced the pain by 90%. I am very pleased with this drug. Hooray!

meloxicam for Osteoarthritis: My insurance company would not provide me with two Celebrex a day. After consulting my pharmacist, I tried the meloxicam (15 mg) and it works better than Celebrex for me - inflammation is my major problem, and I'm pleased. Also, Meloxicam is much cheaper. IMPORTANT - Take with meals to avoid stomach problems.

Mobic (meloxicam) for Inflammatory Conditions: In use for 6 weeks with noticeable reduction in muscle soreness and overall general body stiffness. Suffered for years with stiffness, soreness, lack of flexibility, and difficulty getting down on a floor to work and very hard to get up. Weight doesn't help, but Mobic has relieved much of the apparent inflammation of muscles and joints. So far after 6 weeks I have no noticeable side effects.

meloxicam for Inflammatory Conditions: I was prescribed Meloxicam for inflammation, stiffness and pain in my knee. I took one pill before I went to bed. I woke up with virtually no pain or stiffness. I sit in front of a computer all day and would be have to get up every 30 minutes just to stretch my leg. I saw a difference the very first day. It is my miracle drug.

Mobic (meloxicam) for Fibromyalgia: I've had this condition since I was 12. It's now been 25 years. This is one of the better medications I've tried and the last one on the list to try. It seems to be helping with mobility.

Mobic (meloxicam) for Fibromyalgia: Mobic has made an incredible difference to my fibromyalgia. This time last year I could hardly walk and did not really care if I did not wake up next morning. I was tired of the never ending pain. Now I go for a walk 4 days per week and I can move so much better. I can sleep at night as well.

Mobic (meloxicam) for Inflammatory Conditions: I used this medication for about a year for bursitis in my left shoulder. When taken regularly it did help reduce my pain quite a bit. I could definitely tell when I did not take it every day. The pain would return pretty bad. I did not want to take cortisone shots so this worked well for me.

Mobic (meloxicam) for Osteoarthritis: Suffering from severe pain in shoulder, elbow, and base of right thumb. The pain was constant. My doctor tried several medicines and NSAIDs to no effect. Yesterday he prescribed Mobic and by yesterday evening I was essentially pain free. This morning I am totally pain free, with a new attitude on life.
