For Inflammatory Conditions "I have been taking Mobic for 4 years now. Having a herniated bulging disc, it helped me so much. I had an operation (laminectomy) to cut away part of the disc. 2 years later after the op, I have the same problem again along with nerve pain. Without Mobic, I couldn't walk. I also take Oxycontin to relieve all pain. I hear all stories about how Mobic damages your liver, etc. I've tried twice to come off it, but straight away the pain is severe along with headaches."

For Osteoarthritis "Mobic seemed to work great to reduce my arthritis pain. However, it gave me a headache, and my other MD said Prozac can't be taken with Mobic because both increase the risk of gastric bleeding, etc. Also, it gave me shortness of breath. I thought it reduced my pain, but my doc says arthritis pain comes and goes, so maybe not. Be careful if you also take an antidepressant - many don't react well with Mobic."

For Osteoarthritis "I have had awful foot pain for over 10 years and have tried many medicines. My doctor suggested Mobic, and it did wonders for my pain. I have been on it for 5 days now and cannot believe the difference it has made. I can now walk without shuffling around because of pain. Side effects are mild for now. I have a light headache from time to time and ear pressure. Hope that improves. I take 7.5 twice a day since 15 seemed to make side effects worse. A nice surprise every time I get up to walk and feel little or no pain."
