what is mobic? Ssgtwirtz--when did you realize you had worries about this combo of drugs? And i see this sort of question a lot about patients leaving the dr. office without full knowledge of effects. Then many times unless directly asked the same for the pharmacy! I know it should be patients responsibility but often they are occupied with more pressing concerns---pain---sickness- anxiety etc. so maybe----maybe the drs. ands pharmacists are just not taking the time for it?
They work so well for pain and immflamation that it is a real shame. Some will have more of an effect than others. To note, Mobic is also an Nsaid. But perhaps has less heart effect. Here's an article I found helpful

Tylenol? Tramadol? Physical therapy? Exercise? Those are on the list as potential options.
My suggestion is to discuss this with your doctor.
Yes Ive tried lyrica and it did help, however Im with a new doctor now and he didnt want to prescribe it for some reason. I didnt really get into the why not, Im just hoping this Mobic will help. But from what I understand about it, its just a stronger NSAID so Im not sure how helpful its going to be with nerve pain. I have to go get a lumbar MRI to hopefully see what the deal is.
Hi, I have everything you have so I know how you are suffering. Relafen didn't do anything for my pain, plus it's bad to take any NSAID drug if you have high blood pressure. My cardiologist doesn't want me to take it. Sometimes I do use Advil, but not every day. Tylenol sometimes, but it doesn't do much either. I refuse to take Lyrica because of the weight gain thing. I am already overweight, which is bad for my bp.
With my fibro, I get hand pain.
I think you need assessment by a physical therapist, who is likely to have you fitted with some sort of leg brace, and to help you with other issues. I also think you need a decent doctor, a neuro specializing in MS. Are you on one of the MS disease-modifying drugs? I urge everyone to do this if at all possible. I hope you're getting regular MRIs.
Mobic is an NSAID pain reliever (same class of drugs as ibuprofen, motrin, aleve) and not a narcotic so the addiction potential is very very low. You should be fine as long as you have no stomach issues as NSAIDS tend to aggravate those symptoms or if taken in excess, create stomach problems.
Good luck to you! I think the Mobic is a much better alternative to pain management than any narcotic.
It is somewhat worrying me. Does anyone know why this is happening or what lab test can I get done?
let me know if you get any replies. i even have the mayo clinic looking into this. i do/did have cardiac issues, 11 stents, triple bypass and a stroke. the chest pain felt nearly like a cardio incident. went to my cardiologist and found that my pipes are extremely clear. thats when i started to take a different tact. the chest pain is very bad at times. sometimes while sitting i will get it lightly but if i go up a set of stairs (12) twice, i hurt so bad its almost unbearable.
ve heard that it is a pressure change either way--low to high or high to low--just any presure change. have you heard that low is worse? do you know why? of course, i live in idaho where the joke is "if you don't like the weather in idaho, wait 15 minutes and it will change." basically, we get alot of weather changes. i need to live somewhere that is more stable--if such a place exists!
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 ??
