mobic vs motrin

Does anyone know if mobic is addictive? My doctor switched me to them today from loratab. I am glad because the loratab really is addictive and I would rather not have my body relying on anything. I have been on the loratab for a little over a year now and I feel like crap if I miss a day and go without it. Not only am I in pain (because of female problems and my back) but I feel like I have the flu. How long will I feel that way without it? since I switch my meds today.

t feel guilty for takin tylonol or motrin for a headache and whatnot. But good for u for not goin back to the narcotics cause it is easy for us to go back to them when we really are in pain cause our mind will tell us that we need the narcotics cause we r dying cause the pain is so bad even tho it isn't that bad at all.

they are a very good med this is what i take now if i ever have back pain and yes it is an anti inflam but it is stronger than naproxen or ibprofen this is the med that helped my pain while i was in withdrawals and now that i am clean i no longer have pain because most of my left over back pain from surgery was my brain making me hurt so i would use med so now if i ever do have pain i take a mobic(thats the brand name for meloxicam) and about 20 minutes later i no longer hurt and it is not addic

I meant to post here when I reached the 90 day mark but things at work were too busy for me to be able to do so. I think I am past the point of having phantom pains - at least I hope I am. But, the underlying injuries that I have are really starting to get to me. Sometimes the pain in my knees and ankles are so much that I feel like I lurch around instead of walking around. I saw my pain management doctor today and he prescribed Mobic for me - 7.5 mg.

Ansaid (Flurbiprofen) Arthrotec (Diclofenac/Misoprostol) Cataflam (Diclofenac potassium) Clinoril (Sulindac) Daypro (Oxaprozin) Dolobid (Diflunisal) Feldene (Piroxicam) Ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) Indocin (Indomethacin) Ketoprofen (Orudis, Oruvail) Lodine (Etodolac) Meclomen (Meclofenamate) Mobic (Meloxicam) Nalfon (Fenoprofen) Naproxen (Naprosyn, Aleve) Ponstel (Mefanamic Acid) Relafen (Nabumetone) Tolectin (Tolmetin) Voltaren (Dicolfenac Sodium)

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.

Cluster headache or maybe TMJ...If it has ben going on for few days and tylenol or motrin don't help would go to the doctor and get it checked out....

I am putting this in our group as well because I know alot of us take NSAIDs to help keep us in recovery.So here is the thing there are many of us dealing with chronic daily pain I am one of them .I don't take over the daily amounts but I do take them daily .I have been having alot of problems lately with gastro problems one off them was acid reflux last week it started come up with blood .This was not the only problem but the rest I am not going to go into detail with.

Thanks for all of your wonderful comments. The specialist was surprised that my primary doc didn't do any rheumatology labs. I don't think he did a HLA-B27 test so I'll ask him about that next time. I still haven't made up my mind about the mobic; I have a fear of taking new meds anyway and the fact that I can't take any motrin or excedrin migraine (I use one or the other or *both* almost every day) while on mobic I'm still unsure.

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 OBGYN and RE told me that any type of anti inflamatory such as Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) and prescription ones like Celebrex and Mobic can keep you from ovulating. If doing IVF, it can also affect you. During the retrieval they may be able to get many follicles out but may be unable to get eggs out of them. Talk to your RE if you need pain medication.

Try Ibuprofen (Motrin) vs Tylenol; it is better for pain-related inflammation. Keep off the arm while lying. Do not do any lifting, but try to move the arm throughout the day. I just had the same problem myself a week ago; I like to hold onto my husband while sleeping and did it in the same position two nights in a row. My arm was in alot of pain, aching and such. Never had any problems with this in my life until now, but attribute it to getting older.

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 ??

Yes you can take Mobic with a narcotic pain med. Mobic is a NSAID, and has the same risks as other NSAIDS. In high doses it can cause some kidney issues, the vicodin has tylenol in it and can cause some liver issues in high doses. But they are safe to take together. Typically what you want to watch for is multiple NSAIDS, or Multiple meds with tylenol.

Take a pad with you because the one they give you is small and I spotted quite a bit. Also take the recommended dose of motrin they suggest before the procedure, that helped a TON! Good luck...

It states it is Adrenal Cysts, is that the same as Ovarian? They prescibed her Motrin 600mg and is in extreme pain, what is the proper treatment especially when it is causing so much pain, thinking of taking her back to the ER, can they help?

is there anything that can be done to get rid of this pain and weakness? I do take Mobic once a day and motrin if needed. I ice it and apply heat. PT is using ultrasound, ES. Feels good at the time, but once I manipulate my hand, voila ...

Sure, we can add Mobic/Meloxicam to the Pain Tracker for you. In the meantime, please use NSAIDs, since meloxicam is a type of NSAID and this is already available on the tracker.

Hi... I was diagnosed with ostearthritis & fibromyalgia a few years ago...and have been taking mobic since then, which has worked. About a month ago, the mobic didn't seem to be working as well.. my hands were hurting a lot at work... so I went back to my dr & he changed my medicine to relafen for the osteoarthritis & lyrica for the fibromyalgia. Although the lyrica seems to work, I'm not liking the side effects, puffy hands & feet & eye twitching...

I was just prescribed mobic and I just wondered if it's afdictive

I have had 18 pt visits (traction now up to 32 lbs.. does provide relief temporary,(24hr) also take mobic.. recently prescribed a home traction unit.. confused as if this is right treatment..

Continue what you are doing you have 3 days down there are only 11 day vs the rest of your life. I know you will do the right thing Good luck.

You will probably need extensive physiotherapy, and may need to take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory such as Aleve or Mobic. Hope this helps. Take care!
