mobic for pain

i actually had to be on mobic for a while. its generic name is meloxicam..its a nonsteriodal anti inflammitory. i am no longer taking it, but its good and works well.

My doctor wrote me a script for Mobic to help with some nerve pain. Im wondering if anyone knows if its similar to tramadol at all, Im hoping not, but anyone who has any helpful info please let me know. I cant start back on opiates again for the pain and Ive heard too many bad stories about tramadol to even consider it as an alternative. Also if anyone knows of anything that helps nerve pain, Im open for any suggestions. Hope everyone is well, thanks.

My provider told me I have a little of Osteo arthritis and has prescribed me Mobic for the pain. Now, since like a month ago, I have been feeling like big pulses on my legs, buttock, arms, neck, face, back and stomack at times. It does not last too long but, i do have then through out the whole day. It is somewhat worrying me. Does anyone know why this is happening or what lab test can I get done?

Thanks for the suggestion, and we will certainly look into adding that.

Today a Doctor gave me a script for Mobic,for wrist pain that I have had for the past month from repative work,my Urate levels are at 52 just over limit.Im on Asprin and fluid tablets which can raise these levels. A specialist doctor I saw says it is gout I don't believe it is...I'm unsure about taking the Mobic though for my wrist ??

I am taking mobic for chronic back pain, however i was recently prescribed vicodin to take in unison with the mobic. I need to know how dangerous if at all the combination of the two can be, and if i need to be aware of additional side effects?

Do you see a pain management specialist or who is managing your pain? Have you gone on the pain management forum here? That may be a good place for you to look for support in addition to here.

Mobic is the brand name...Meloxicam is the generic...I take it for my joint pain brought on by TX. Its a prescription only NSAID that is easier on the stomach than Ibu and Naproxen. It helps some. I also use Arnicare (arnica gel)...its homeopathic stuff that I rub on my knee, wrists, etc. I'm not sure about rubbing alcohol thing.

thankyou for taking the time to respond, i would have taken your advise but couldn't drive to the hospital lol. I've just rested it, and now i'm just starting to be able to bend without the pain .

My doctor put me on Mobic, and Flexeril for pain from a bad fall a few months ago-no xrays, etc. He had me stop Mobic for a week, saying to resume after chest pains stop. I think that helped but I resumed it about 1wk ago, and the chest pains seem worse and more frequent. I just stopped the Mobic again today, to see if that helps. I am concerned it could be a prelude to a heart attack. The Doctor did mention it could be Pluerisy, but didn't dwell on it.

Mobic 15mgs has worked very well for my severe ankle tibial tendonitis and moderate arthritis coupled with physical therapy which helped restore my range of motion which was 60% lost at the time of therapy. However, the tendonitis can not be helped any furthe (I wear orthotics _ high top sneakrs and a splint brace to sleep at night) The mobic helps the arthritis alot for me & I've been on it 1.5yrs with normal blood labs.

i have been in pain since around 2005. my low back muscles tense up causing my legs to hurt. they feel weak and unsteady. they hurt down deep. somtimes me left leg will feel like its inflamed. i have trouble walking, crouching, kneeling and so many other things. i am mainly looking for answers. i have been to alot of doctors with no results just given a lot of medications. i want treatment and to get on with my life. i take tramadol, baclofen, amitryptoline,mobic and symbalta.

I feel for you. Tramhater is right there are other things to help with pain, like Mobic. You may have rebound pain also, which is caused when you wd your body increases pain so take more pills.

I have swollen knuckles, I have tried oral mobic, it's not helping so much, I've tried aspercreme, nothing there either. Is there a good rub on cream for joint inflammation? What is it?

I do not know you, but Congrats , you have come a long way. There is a drug called Mobic, that is for pain, you could ask your DR.

I was on Mobic for a year or so and never had any issues besides stomach pain (which any NSAID's can cause) I get stomach pain with any NSAID's. Mobic wasn't really that affective for me but my insurance made me try practically every NSAID on the market before they would approve Celebrex. They denied Celebrex and even recommended a PPI (ulcer med) to take with the NSAID's because they didn't want to pay for Celebrex.

I am currently on 40mg Elavil (amitriptyline)/daily for pain and on the weekend while I was fishing I became severely sunburned on my legs and arms. My legs are now blistering and are extremely painful and I would like to save anyone else from going through this. Please ensure that if any of the meds you are on cause you to be sun sensitive to take this side effect VERY SERIOUSLY!

For MS, nsaids rarely work, except to help with pain caused only secondarily. For instance, if you favor one leg, the other may get overworked, with sore muscles or worse symptoms, but there's nothing really happening with it that helping the ailing leg wouldn't fix. As to the Neurontin, very possibly your dosage isn't high enough. Did you know that up to 3600 mg/day is safe?

I am taking Levothyroxin 50 mcg and Mobic for inflamation. My THS ( I think) was 17 the first time I had it checked. I do not know what is is now but as of February it was within the normal range. What exaclty is my swelling and joint pain related to?
