mobic for tendonitis

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.

Hi, I ask this question because both a member on the Arthritis Community, and myself have seen a corelation between taking NSAID for arthritis and depletion of Vit D ... is this just coincidence or is there a possible connection?

I have an orthopedist 3mo followup appt for my severe tibial tendonitis/arthritis to the ankle. No surprises @ the appt I am sure . Basically cause I am on Mobic every day so he sees me ev 3mos or he won't give me renewals on the med. My latest bloodwork was fine.

m a 49yr old healthy female. Been on 15mg Mobic (NSAID for 2yrs for serious tibial tendonitis). Also Synthroid 75mcgs daily for thy cancer & supression. Last 2 mos have had some minor heartburn feelings swallowing foods which went away after going on Cipro last month for documented UTI by culture.

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.

Thanks for the advice Dr. Kokil! I will try using the ice pack. Since there was no actual injury to bring this on, I'm not sure where I would actually apply the ice? What is the best location?

Thank you so much for your advices. Have you ever met any patient had the same problem like me? I went to my foot doctor again, and he said the arch in the bottom of my feet are not strong enough to carry all my body. That's why whenever I stand up, the bones in the bottom of my feet just collapse and some bones go to the wrong position. Also it has been too long since my feet start hurting.

the initial no muscle pain / no weight baring persisted for about a week... I followed up for weeks and weeks and months and months and now a year... i have been told it's anything from calf strain to in my head to achilles tendonitis to partial achilles tendon tear to medial gastrocnemius tear... In November they did an MRI of my achilles tendon but not of my calf, the test came back negative, but I never had a second opinion, or saw the image.

but will go to Prim Doc tomorrow if this belly pain is still there just to be certain since on the Mobic almost a year now for severe tendonitis in my tibial tendon and all kidney function tests are A-OK as screening on the med. Only other med I'm on is Synthroid for thyroid and all fine there, too. My ins. is thru husband's employer and cannot drop unless lifetime max is reached and is a major HMO.

I have had tendonitis in both shoulders for 6 years and have suffered greatly. I have had to have cortisone shots in both shoulders just to get the pain down to a manageable level. Last year my doctor happened to run a Vitamin D test on me a I was at an 8-not normal. He iniatially put me on a 50,000 IU dose and then tapered me to a 1000 IU a day. Within the first 2 weeks the pain and tendonitis was gone from my shoulders as documented by my orthopeadic doctor.

I'm with Cindee on this one, firstly what type of Dr. dx you? People can have more than one type of arthritis at the same time, if you haven't already you need to see a Rheumatologist and get all new labs done. I take Enbrel for my disease ( AS), my last rheumy gave me a RX for Lyrica which I did not even bother filling, not interested in gaining weight thank you! If you've been on Mobic for a long time it is entirely possible your body is no longer responding to it.

Went to a hand specialist who xrayed it, negative for fracture, etc. She put me in a cast for 3 weeks to immobilize the area, told me it was tendinitis/sprain. Cast came off.. back to a soft glove type of splint and more PT. Some improvement but I still couldn't grasp, twist or flex my thumb or lean on my hand to get out of a chair, etc. without a lot of pain. Pressure to the area is sometimes so painful~however, goes away once hand is at rest.

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 mama used to take Mobic and it helped her back alot. Unfortunately for her, it upset her stomach so she quit taking it with no side effects following. Best wishes.

Long term, higher o-t-c dosing needs to be monitored by a Dr. to be certain no ulcerations or irritation occurs. I am on Mobic NSAID prescription and need to have bloodwork done ev. 3 mos for kidney function, and am told to be aware of any acid reflux indicators as a side effect not to brush off lightly while on NSAID's.

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?

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 ??

So now I'm on Levaquin for 3 weeks for a sinus infection. One of the side effects is tendonitis. I already have tendonits (both wrists) and everything has failed including physical therapy and steroid injections, i was referred to surgeon now as nothing has worked, have an appoint in November. Should I take the levaquin if i already have tendonitis? The sinus infection is bad saw ENT friday and put me on levaquin.

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?

For the past 2 months I been having severe pain on the inside of my arm when it bends. I had my doc look at it a month ago and he said I hurt a tendon and recommended an arm band. The pain seemed to improve but now it's back and very painful, when when I bend my arm it hurts on the inside, when I sleep it hurts when I move it and when I wake up to stretch it. I have taken advil and vicodin without relief. I am tired of having my arm hurt!

I was erroneously diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel and Tendonitis that didn't go away for YEARS that was leading to atrophy before I was finally diagnosed with MS and found out it was spasticity. I am in PT now to relieve the spasming and strengthen the muscles. I am slowly but FINALLY getting some relief.

From my shoulder down to my elbow and on to my wrist. Movement hurts and I gasp if I move my arm the wrong way or use it for much. I also get a sharp pain in my arm between my shoulder and my elbow. My husband thinks its tendonitis...but with all my other things, I don't know, does this sound familiar to anyone?

since then I have had bad shoulder pain. After getting two cortisone injections that have not helped my doctor has booked surgery for next month. I had an mri and the results showed tendonitis but also that the subacrominal bursa has no fluid in it... and that my humerous was low lying and some crystalisation too... My doc hasn't explained these results to me, so could someone please shed some light for me??
