For Osteoarthritis "Several years ago, I was put on Mobic for right knee problems-bone on bone. When I finally needed a knee replacement, I had to go off Mobic for a week before the surgery. Immediately, I got creaky and all my joints hurt and ached. It hurt to walk even a short distance. At that point, I realized what a blessing Mobic is. I thought that if some of my deceased relatives had Mobic, they might have lived longer. I remember how badly they suffered, and I understand. The pain was unbearable. I'm still on it. I am 65."

"I was prescribed this for broken patella knee surgery. I took Mobic 15 mg once a day for 1 month, the first 2 weeks it worked great... then it felt like my knee was broken all over again, sharp pain so bad I couldn't even stand up. I thought I was having complications with the screws and wires. I ended up in the ER with terrible joint pain, they looked at me like I was nuts. I saw my orthopedic team the next day, and they said it was in my head even though the protein levels in my blood were through the roof due to pain and swelling. I took it into my own hands to stop the Mobic, and 2 days later, with the help of Tylenol and ibuprofen, I was fine. I would never recommend this medication. I fell behind on my physical therapy, my knee mobility regressed from all the pain."

For Inflammatory Conditions "I've been on Mobic for 2 days along with Flexeril, and I am still experiencing excruciating pain. I feel like electric shocks going down my right sciatica."
