For Osteoarthritis "Started taking this medication about two weeks ago. I gained weight and swelling in hand, legs, feet, and ankles. Belly swollen too. I am stopping this medication immediately before something more serious happens. This happened before while on this medication."

For Osteoarthritis "Mobic has been great for my arthritis. I've had Mobic prescribed by several different doctors over the past 10 years and 1) haven't had a problem with it, and 2) it's one of the only medications that helps with my arthritis, which I have in just about every joint but my elbows. Ibuprofen works too, but I started retaining fluid and swelling up after taking it off and on for several years. Hope nothing similar happens with Mobic, as it's a godsend."

For Osteoarthritis "Just started Mobic this week, and I've already gained 4 minutes back on my nightly walk. I'm 32 and suffer from severe osteoarthritis in my hips. I haven't noticed much change in my swelling, but am already sleeping for longer periods of time."

For Rheumatoid Arthritis "I have been prescribed 4 different arthritis medicines... Mobic being one of them. Took as directed and took for a minimum of 3 weeks. It didn't help me at all. Steroids seem to be the only thing that helps. Had fluid removed from both knees within a week of each other, and then knee surgery (subchondroplasty) in February. I have found no surgery and no medicine has helped. Within a couple of days of being off the steroids, both my knees will swell up, and I have to use a walker or crutches to walk more than 2 feet."

"I have been on Mobic for 1 week. Treatment for osteoarthritis, but still waiting for a diagnosis. The last 3 days, I noticed swelling in my right foot, which has now moved up my leg. Nothing going on to the left foot. As far as treating my physical pain, I have felt no change."

For Osteoarthritis "Been on this 15mg in the morning, once a day. It helps my knees from swelling, tried others NSAIDs, but came back to meloxicam 15mg. Some people can get twice a day at 7.5mg."
